Is She Hit!

[stuntriderant]

Last Year I Shot An Axis Doe And The Pass Through Was So Quick And Clean She Ran 20 Yards Stopped And Stared In My Direction Trying To Figure Out Where The Noise Came From! I Saw My Arrow Hit Her In The Goodie Box But She Didnt Even Know She Was Hit. Finally Blood Started To Pump From Both Sides And She Started To Stumble. How Often Does This Happened And Has It Happened To You?

You need a slower bow or some dull broadheads!

Lol! Yea Last Year I Shot A Mathews Q2 With Muzzy Broadheads And Nothing Was Up To Date On It! I Have A General Now But Havent Got To Break Him In Yet.

I shot a cull buck once that jumped out of the feeder pen after being shot. Ran about 10 yards into the brush. Then he jumped back in the feeder pen and acted like he was going to eat. Then he stumbled down.

Had it happen to me twice! Pretty crazy when you actually think about it!

Happened to me about 15 years ago SW of Brady. Shot a nice buck and he ran about 20 yards then stopped looking for the sound. About 5 seconds later he lost his balance and fell down. That was cool.

I shot a doe a few years ago, she was at 13 yards....shot hit the sweet spot and she did not even flinch, just lowered her head and began to eat corn, a few seconds went by and she fell over...it was a strange day..

Had it happen several times. Shot a doe that jumped 10 yds or so and then went back to crunching corn.

My first deer was a young 9-pointer that approached my feeder and gave me a broadside shot at 25 yards. I saw my arrow pass through and he took 2 big jumps and then turned and started biting his side where the arrow hit him. Being the carnivore that I am, i had already re-nocked an arrow and shot him in the spine {he was now facing directly away from me}. He dropped like a sack of potatoes. But i have also had a deer that walked 300 yards {liver shot} and that was no fun.

I've shot a few that did the high kick of death and then just stood there looking around and fell over. I like those tracking jobs.

I had the same thing happen about 6 years ago. Just started eating again and then fell over dead as a nail.

I shot a doe once and she just flinched like she heard something, then turned around and smelled the arrow that had just passed through her and was sticking in the ground. I nocked another arrow, and was at full draw again when she just got the shakes and laid down and died. All this time (total of maybe a minute and a half) blood was running out both sides of her body. I've had half a dozen cases where the animal didn't know they had just been hit, but this one was the strangest.

I shot an elk once that continued to drink after the arrow was through him. He never knew he'd been shot.

[Target-panic]

I have had several animals be startled by the arrow hitting something on the other side of them. Stomping and staring at the arrow, only to have severe case of fade to black in the process. Sharp broadhead, especialy cut on contacts seem to do this more.

[BIG D]

I have shot several that run 20-30 yards (spooked by the sound), stop to look back, and fall right there. Best feeling in bowhunting for me.
