Muzzleloader Season

You won't believe this one. I was hunting out in Sidney this past weekend for my muzzleloader buck. Well I got him. I'll make a long story short.
First off, Mike kept telling me he saw a buck with an arrow through his head. I thought he was full of it, but he kept telling me he saw it again.
Saturday evening we saw this buck jumping around going out of control from about 350 yards away. Mike told me it was probably the one with the arrow in its head. The buck was with another one that night. The next morning I sat up in the tree stand and waited, all of a sudden at about 10 minutes after sun up, there were two bucks that came right to the side of my stand, 30 yards. I saw the arrow instantly and didn't know what to think. Anyways, he ended up giving me a shot and I took him. Looks like the arrow was in there probably at least a couple months or more. No blood or anything and you could move the arrow. Check out the pics!

I shot a buck a few years back and when I cut it open to dress it in the field I found a complete carbon impact arrow with a muzzy broadhead inside it. I was amazed there was no apparent entry wound on the deer and part of the arrow was covered in what looked like a fatty tumor. It appeared as if whomever shot it while it was walking away in the ass. They are resiliant animals arent they.

Both those stories are fantastic.Im glad you posted a pic so we know its not another fish story.Or do we.If you guys are pulling our leg JHAP will be after you with the GSF

That isnt my best hunting experience. If I told you the other one you would never believe me.

Hell, Here it goes. I was hunting with my father many years ago, back around 1992 if I remember correctly. I was sitting in the tree stand and saw this buck in the laurels at about 50 yards. I put the good old gamemaster 30-06 pump and got so excited I unloaded the gun on the deer and never even hit it once. What can I say it was the first buck I ever shot at, in hindsight I realized I never even aimed at the damn thing. How I didnt hit it by accident Ill never know. But anyway my father was in a stand only 120 yards away and I was yelling to him the deer was coming his way. He was yelling back to me and the deer walked right into him and he shot it. I had the poor thing so tramtized I think it was deaf after 6 30-06 slugs flying by it. I still remember the limbs flying as I was unloading the gun. Got Nothing but AIR out of that one.
After sitting in the stand for another three hours I got depressed at what had happened and told my dad lets get out of here I had enough excitement for one day. Little did I know the excitement was about to get much better.
On our way home we travelled Interstate 81 from Hazleton to West Hazleton. While heading up the interstate I noticed the traffic was stopped going south bound. After further inspection I noticed a deer crawling accross the roadway in the passing lane. I yelled to my dad there was a deer crawling accross the road and he slammed on the brakes. It appeared the deer was shot in the back and crawling on its front legs. My dad immediately got out of the car we were in and ran out into the middle of the road and grabbed ahold of the deeer by the horns and drug it accross the road to the berm. He then pulled out his buck knife and slit the things throat. We then dragged it to the back of the car (escort station wagon) and threw it in the back. My dad tells me to get in and hold the deer down until it dies (young and dumb should have said no). Well let me tell you them suckers are pretty strong. That damn thing was trying to push me through the roof of the car while we were going down the road. I was trying to stick my hand down its throat to suppocate it, the blood was squirting all over the inside of the car. We finally got off the interstate to a rural road and got the deer out of the car and it was finally dead. Never again will I do that, it was like wresting three gorillas.
Anyway that was how I tagged my first deer and never even fired a shot at it.

That was funny Brian!

It reminds of a deer my brother shot long ago, I decided I wasn't going to waste another bullet and I slit it's throat too, trust me, the cost of using one more bullet is well worth it. I won't go down that route ever again.

After all the stories Ive read on here and all the stupid stunts Ive pulled over the last 50 yrs I dont dought your story one bit!!

That's astounding!

incredible story heybud...he looks fairly healthy, i wonder how long he had to put up w/ that arrow in terms of grazing etc..if the arrow moved, maybe he'd put his head down, push the arrow back and eat, and then the arrow would work its way out front again??

I cannot believe that you guys fell for the oldest gag in the forest.....that old deer-gag, the arrow-thru-the-head

Brettski's grades

I'm really glad to see that those are round-ended scissors.













No running with them, Brettski.

I used to be able to put an eye out running with the dang crayons!

And I thought that was just another one of B'ski's attempts at a tinfoil hat for deer.
