2015 archery desert mule deer

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share my first desert mule deer I've killed with my bow. Had a friend invite me down near Yuma and this guy showed up second morning while sitting water.

Craziest kill shot I have ever seen and probably ever will see. Wish I would have had a camera to share the video.

He came in and was drinking when I shot and missed the first time at 50 yards. He took off and stopped 20 yards later and couldn't see any danger so he came back for another drink. I adjusted and let it fly and it drilled him right in the shoulder. (After skinning I could see where my arrow grazed the edge of his shoulder blade so a little lower and he may not have died)

When he got hit he went straight up in the air kicking and lost his balance and went head first into the drinker and went completely under and came flying out splashing water everywhere and went about 25 yards and died right there in sight. Was a wild ride for him! My friend said the buck must have wanted to be baptized before he passed so he made it happen haha

Thanks guys, yeah him going in the water was pretty crazy. I got lucky and sat the blind the evening before and then Monday morning I sat there and he came in around 8 AM. Only about 6 total hours of sitting when I killed him so wasn't too bad.
