    I know there's a lot of times the deer will get more spooked if you are quiet and try to hold still. Oftentimes you can talk to them gently and even wave a little bit. And it relaxes them. The more stalkey you are,,, the more paranoid they become. 🌾😆🌾

    I usually go easy on people when i see they are inexperienced hunters. In your case, people like you get on the internet and give real hunters a bad name. The fact you made a bad shot because you felt moving your camera was more important, that shows us all you need to pick either hunting or making youtube videos. Not both. The common knowledge that deer drop at the shot is one of the fundamentals at hunting. This is part of basic hunters safety course curriculum. It is right between the part about putting meat on ice so it does not spoil, and unloading your shotgun before hopping a fence. You honestly need to reevaluate why you are bow hunting and make better choices. I do not make internet content about hunting. In 2 decades of hunting, I have had 2 deer make it past 40 yards. Both were dead by 100 yards. Never had a deer i did not find after shooting. Its a shame you are not serious about being an ethical hunter. As to the content of this video, deer drop at the shot. Everyone knows this. Even shooting something slow like a shotgun or muzzle loader at 100 yards they have time to drop. Aim just behind that spot where the shoulder first starts to bump out as the leg comes up. Try and do it in an angle to not ruin the quarter behind it. Youll either shoot the heart, miss cleanly low, or double lung a high shot or a shot that a deer drops hard. Your center mass idea is profanely rediculous. No 3d target depicts this. No one EVER says that in a hunting magazine or show. Center mass is something you hear listening to james yeager swear about guns. You truly are an example of the fact equipment does not replace skill.

    I knew better and I made a mental mistake, which is why I was too high on my hold. The camera played no role in me not taking a shot. I had 2 lanes. The one I was set to shoot in and the one I shot in. I knew this because you have to mentally prepare for everything and know exactly where your shots are so you are ready. There was no shot prior to that and I didn’t want to stop the deer with a noise when he had literally just spend the last 20 minutes slowly eating acorns, thought for sure he would stop in that lane, but he didn’t, that’s hunting. I moved the camera, stopped him in my last lane and made a shot that was poorly placed. Read through the comments and tell me more good didn’t come of helping people understand how easy it is to make a mistake and how to learn from it. I also have hunted long enough to know that your statement of only having two deer go beyond 40 yards is an exaggeration. A heart shot deer will commonly run 100 yards on a dead sprint before dropping. Double lung can easily run 100-150, the distance a deer runs even on perfect shots is highly variable. I also highly doubt that you have never missed a deer.

    Your points are good but man you have a pretty bad draw of your bow. Your elbow is under your nipple line and it really should be around eye level.

  • @WeekendWoodsmen
    @WeekendWoodsmen18 күн бұрын

    Hear that a lot but I really don’t see the point in using the smaller muscles in your shoulders when you can use the big muscles in your back and I also like to come into anchor from below rather than straight back. I have tried it, but never felt comfortable getting into anchor that way. And if a deer catches me mid draw it’s a heck of a lot easier to hold it when you are drawing lower.

    @@UltraMagaFan what length leads are you running on the rods. What lure depth are you targeting? Tried that before maybe on a big boat it would work but when you are running 160 foot of line or even 300’ of line in the summer targeting fish down 60-65’ that will not work. Those lines will be right on top of each other especially in turns. Not to mention the pain when you are trying to target the same depth with all the rods and a fish hits and moves into one of the other rods. I will wait for the video since you obviously know everything.

    Thank you for the knowledge of diaphragm calls I've always enjoyed turkey hunting as a kid &teenager! I always had someone with me to call which was nice to be able to just focus on hunting the turkey unfortunately it meant I never got to learn to call until I became an adult and purchased my own. I was completely clueless to what I was looking at I knew the different style calls I had used box or striker I just like the convenience of hands free calling you can do solo. Cut to the chase as my begining call I bout a triple reed with two I shaped cut out and another triple combo cut and taught myself so I'm very curious to go get a single or double NO CUT and see what I can practice doing better next like gobbling.
