What's funny about the whole thing is I have seen deer double lunged with a sharp broadhead the went 2 to 3 times as far as this one did. If my buddy had not heard the deer crash, the doe would have probably been yote fodder since he saw the arrow just clip her back.

some good stories true or not...

poison? really?

Couple of weeks ago my buddy was in his box blind hunting with his crossbow. I was across the orchard in a pop up with my bow. He watched some does for a while until one was clear he could shoot. He had does on the right and left of the doe he was going to shoot but none behind her. When he shot he made a perfect shot on the deer. She was double lunged. Well we watched her for about 20 minutes with her laying down and getting up a few times. While we where watching her I noticed a deer with an arrow hanging out of her neck. We thought that one of the neighbors had made a bad shot. When we checked the cameras we saw that it was his bolt. We have no idea how that bolt went completely through one doe and into the neck/shoulder of another when their were no deer within 10ft or so of the target deer. The bolt went in just far enough to were the broad head is the only thing holding the bolt in just under the skin.

I was with my dad hunting in Del Rio in the early 90's. We were sitting in the stand waiting for the feeder to go off during the morning hunt. Like most feeder pens in Del Rio we would use a tree as one of the 4 corners of the pen due to all the rock and it was hard to drive a t post into straight rock. There were a couple of does and a yearling doe in the pen eating before the feeder went off, no big deal. As soon as the feeder went of the deer scattered and the two does jump out of the pen, the yearling doe ran head first straight into the tree that was used as a post. It broke its neck and died right there in the pen. Bringing her into camp was interesting to say the least, the other members got real grumpy at first about bringing in a yearling doe that still had some visible spots. Everyone checked the doe over for any blood or wounds and there was nothing. We even called the game warden, same thing. He said that we could quarter it up and eat it in camp. And that we did

I gotta tell this one.

Back in MS in the mid 90's poison was legal for archery hunting. Not sure if it still is now as no one really uses it anymore. Anyway, I shot homemade poison pods made with a balloon filled with powder poison just behind my broad head.

Early one morning in fairly foggy conditions a doe comes through right on the perfect trail in front of my climber. I shot her, knew i had hit her, but felt it was a real LOW shot. The deer ran about 30 yards further out, just out of range and behind some brush. I saw her fall down and go white belly up.

My thoughts were...great!! Nice early kill. No tracking involved. With it still being early, I figured I would stay and see what else would come by that morning. Heck, I knew I had one in the bag already. Well about an hour later the doe (white belly up) started kicking. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had been staring at her dead body all morning. The deer came back to life...stood up....and walked off. I was sitting there in disbelief. You can imagine what I was thinking...first off..NOBODY was gonna believe this.

After inspection of my arrow. It looked like I had just grazed the under belly of the deer and just enough poison entered the animal to put it to sleep. Some people still don't believe this story, but it is 100% true. I wouldn't believe it myself unless I had been there to see it.

You can still use it if you can get it, getting it is the hard part. I don't know of anybody using it anymore though.

some good stories true or not...

poison? really?

It is one of the types of drugs that Doctors use to put people to sleep for surgery, just used in a lot higher dose for hunting.

That's why his deer woke up and ran off, didn't get enough of the drug in its blood stream to stop the heart completely.

About 7 years ago was hunting on a high Ridge with my dad's .270, and shot a spike in the head. Walked down the hill, deer was gone. Found trail, followed it, but it ran out and no spike. Started doing circles to pick up trail but instead found the yearling Doe that had been 10 yards off to the left at a90 degree angle from my target when I shot.

I watched the impact to the spikes head, so I know I hit my target. The Doe only had a single sideways entry wound in her gut.

My dad have me all kinds of grief saying I was making stuff up to not own up to the gut shot yearling. I had to take him to the spot where the spike jumped the fence and there was teeth on the ground.

That bullet did a 9 degree turbans killed a different deer... I saw the spike several weeks later, eating corn and looking relatively healthy.

I made a knife for Kellie Nightlinger AKA The Wild Woman and she posted a video of her shooting a Warthog with an arrow and the one behind it dropped as well - when she was dispatching it the Warthog came to - they could find no injury at all

Back in college me and some friends were dove hunting one evening, I was never known for being a Cracker Jack shot with a shot gun especially for dove so when this dove comes rocking across in front of us with a stout West Texas breeze at its back and I drop the bird with a single shot. This bird was not winged he fell out of the sky stone cold dead.... Or so I thought. When I retrieved the bird I was walking back to my spot with the lifeless dove in my open palm making a pretty big deal about the shot I had made when the bird flys off out of my hand. I threw up my gun and shot twice feathers both times bird proceeds to fly back down the fence line past my buddies I was yelling some expletive phrases along the lines of some one kill that ..... You can fill in the blanks. All of my buddies emptied their shotguns at the bird with feathers being knocked out several times. We never did see that bird go down.

I had almost the same thing happen in llano when i was about 15. Me and a couple of buddies were walking up doves during the middle of the day out of the mesquites. I shot one and put it in my vest. Half hour or so later that joker flew out of the vest. We all through up amd knocked out feathers but couldnt knock it down. The dumb thing flew in a circle and came back by. We fired more shots and removed more feathers. He kept on trucking. Respect!

A friend of mine killed her first buck from about 200 yards with a 243. Only hole was under the chest cavity, grazing the sternum. Deer ran about 50 yards and fell dead.

I killed a buck with my bow from the same stand, 35 yard shot hit him too high and far back, only cut the far side backstrap in half. He ran about 80 yards, took a hard left and went down. I had to finish him off but somehow his back legs were paralyzed so I was able to.

to.

I've got a. .243 sorry also. My dad and I were riding through the pasture and he saw some deer grazing across the draw from where we're at. One of which was an old three point. So he has me shoot. Deer doesn't move. Shoot again,still nothing. Five shots total before the deer decides to walk away,then falls over. At this point my dad is busting a gut laughing, until he sees that his truck mirror is busted and he starts in with the "no wonder!"

So we walk to the deer, and there's five nice tidy holes in a baseball size group right behind the shoulder. 250ish yards.

We always figured it was the muzzle blast that shattered the mirror, but that doesn't stop my dad from telling folks about me shooting out his mirror.
