one thing that really gets to me is seeing animals suffering. it one thing to have yotes eating a living deer but seeing arrows sticking out of a deer while it walks around sucks. what kind of a hunter takes shots like that? "the head shots"

I think its mostly not done on purpose... Everybody who shoots a lot of deer eventually hits one bad.

ive made my share of bad shots at deer over the years but have never even thought about a straight on shot like the one with the arrow right between the eyes. my dad wasent much of a hunter yet he still knew a few things about bow hunting. i remember bringing home a deer once and he seen i had taken a quarting to shot on the deer. i thought he was going to kick my xxx, he lectured me for days on taking risky shots and injuring a deer.

Might be on purpose, or could be something like shooting at the front deer, missing, hitting the back deer really bad.

Its proably a rookie mistake, i remember my first kiss. Im pretty sure i was'nt aiming for her upper nose but thats exactly where it landed. Its just tooo much adrenaline is all.

my dad hit a small buck in the back of the head awhile ago. he was shooting an old slow wheeled bow with aluminum arrows and the arrow arc up into a branch and deflected and went right into the back of the head where the spine meets the head dropping it right their. the deer was looking away from him thats why he drew his bow back got so luck to hit it right in the middle of the head off a deflection. so many things could of happen differently and while its hard for me to see those pics with the arrows in the head i understand how it could happen.

Thought I would chime in. Not proud of this. But when I was younger and inexperienced I was hunting on the ground a doe at about 15 yards or so had me dead to rights. I was drawn but she had me. Was holding it back for several minutes. She turned broadside to leave and I released. At the shot she turned back towards me into the shot. I hit her in the jaw which it shattered and it snapped her spine on the pass through. Was shooting muzzy 125s back when 125s were cool :) she dropped in her tracks. Was not intentional to shoot her there and I would never take that shot now but mistakes happen. Don't be to critical about those deer. We don't know the circumstance.

I had a similar experience and to this day cant explain what happened. I had a gimme shot on a quartering away doe about 8yds from me. I shot and couldnt see where the arrow hit, but all the deer in the area scattered and this one doe ran about 10yds and started doing the crazy walk. I was like go down, go down. She stumbled a lot and I got another arrow out. She stopped broadside at 40yds and just staired back at me. I couldnt see where I hit her, so put my 30yd pin on her back and made a textbook shot. She bolted out of site. I waited and got down about 30min later and found my arrow, barely any sign on it. I tried tracking from there, nothing. I went to where I made the long shot and great blood and a short tracking job. The second shot was as described, double lung perfect. The first shot, barely caught any skin and hit that deer in the head at the base where it meets the kneck. Guys Im telling you Im above average at shooting and to this day I have no idea how I hit that deer in the head. Basically the deer got its bell rung and if not for the second shot, I would have sworn that deer survived a text book shot. They flinch, unscene twigs get in the way, string hitting clothing, etc. Dont just assume when you see a poor shot that it was intentional.

It happens just the way it is. It takes me days to get over wounding a deer.
