Dead Deer Walking???

[Multidigits]

Notice what appears to be a broadhead wound in the guts....

Could that possibly be a stick wound from a fight? Looks pretty healthy otherwise!

[EKY.MTN.HUNTER]

The first buck I ever killed had a messed up spine and a bullet lodged in its back, didn't know that tell the butcher showed me.

[Chief Huntum]

I cant imagine a deer shot by a broadhead in the gut would be walking like a normal healthy deer. Very low percentage can recover from such a shot. Why do you assume it was a broadhead? I have seen alot of wounds on deer which were caused by other things. I once got a buck that had a bullet lodged in his spine and a 1/4 inch diameter stick embedded in his hip and a pinky length hole in his ham (probably an antler stuck him).

[Multidigits]

Never seen a bullet make a tri-angle shaped wound, nor an antler? Won't be many gut shot deer survive if any. Also, this is an Indiana deer and there hasn't been any firearm days yet.

I bet it was from a crossbow:D:D:D (sorry i could not resist)

[Multidigits]

Could be, but not likely as Ind. also doesn't have a early crossbow season.

Looks to me you might have some poacher's out there in IND.:(

"I cant imagine a deer shot by a broadhead in the gut would be walking like a normal healthy deer."

It is a still photo. How can you tell if it is walking normal or not? It could be staggering or something.

Next night....same camera

[str8 shot]

looks like you got a nice little honey whole there

[PSmith]

pretty nice deer weather it was shot w/ a arrow bullet or what ever!! Also Lucky!!!!!!!!!

[raven_over_easy]

Def 2 different deer. First one is a 9 pt. second is an 8 point.

[j smith]

two different deer, racks are diff right?

[huntsalone]

two diff deer. second is definately bigger.

[nontypical2002]

I think if you close in the 1st photo there seems to be some sort of green matter on his rear legs?? Is it a result of this wound ya think?? Maybe "it's" coming out there instead of where it's suppose to...

Gut shot....green on the outside isn't good/

It's a Y shaped weed. The leaves/pods/whatever they were on the top of the Y have dropped by the next night.

[Multidigits]

Red is a hole, probably a braodhead, yellow is what appears to be some blood, and green is green stuff that is supposed to be insde the bowels.

[quackrstackr]

No, IMO that green stuff are leaves on the top of that Y shaped weed. There's a third one hanging down in front of his lower left leg if you look closely.

[notimlmit]

I also think that is two different bucks--check out the long skinny face and color on the injured buck compared to the fat shorter and darker face of the second. I would say depending on the angle of the shot depends whether or not he survives.

[vabirddog]

If it was a level shot and broadside there is not much up that high to hit. Obviously missed arteries, guts would be slightly lower, behind lungs. Just a pass though IMO.

i agree, if that is an exit wound and the projectile was shot from a treestand, it missed anything damaging to the animals health. that area is part of the taint....taint close enough to anything to kill it.

[arshooter]

whats the point in even posting it ???? besides trying too make bowhunters look bad we are all hunters...nobody and i mean nobody can make a perfect shot every time...even gun hunters...

Cause if you don't hunt like they do then you must be hunting wrong.

No doubt.....it's two different bucks.

I agree with you arshooter, especially after Multi's post about keeping bowhunters off of his leases. I was trying to be "politically correct" in my earlier post and I should have made my point more direct just as you did.

[Multidigits]

Chief, you certainly don't have to look at it or anything else I post for that matter. First off, it's a pretty unique photo from a game camera, and both bucks aren't to bad either. I don't believe you can find any negative comment on this thread about bowhunters or any other other for that matter. My comment was that it was a gut shot, and would likely be dead in a week or so. Some people say it won't, so you have different opinions of the deers anatomy here also.

Your ignore feature must have quit on you?

[Jughead]

my guess would be that it was hit from a pretty long distance from a low pound bow. it probably isnt penetrated very deep.

[slow-bow]

I'll back you up on this one , Multi. No matter what the circumstances..........a "gut-shot" deer will be dead in a week; probably sooner. PERIOD. Bacteria will address that circumstance. Aside from the other "stuff", 2 different deer in those pics.

[Mount-N-Man]

I also agree that the pictures are of 2 different deer and that the deer will die if it was shot by a bow. I think it may be a wound from fighting though and not as deep as an arrow wound would be.

[OUTBACK]

I swear everyone argues on here like a bunch of lil girls. . . lol . . . makes me laugh. Some one could say that they just b ought a new truck and put thepic up here and some one else would argue and say they didn't. . .

heck that deer could just have a dang scab on it or something and scraped it off. . . lol

[kydeerslayer]

i agree two diff bucks and injured deer will def. be dead in a few days maybe week in gut shot

[Willie]

I dont think Multi claimed it to be the same deer.

Looks to be a nice triangle shaped broadhead hole to me.

Dead deer....
