I’ve come to learn that in archery, there is a tiny difference between complete failure and success, and both will make your heart slam and leave you in awe. I have killed at least 20 whitetails with my bow and I get so tore up every time I get one as well as speechless when one gets away
Bow hunting is a game of inches and seconds big fella 😉 An inch too high, too low, too left, too right, ya dont get it! A second too slow, too fast, ya don't get it! But that's the game and why we love it 😉
I have had all sorts of crap happen while hunting , that’s why it’s called hunting and not shopping , keep at it your doing great , every trip is a new learning curve and if someone says they know it all ….. run your doing what we all do learn on the job
Khong I couldn't but help to notice that you shoot with all your l fingers below your arrow knock? You knocked the arrow because you have no finders on your arrow. There's less control on the arrow. I know a lot of target shooters shoot this way but not when hunting. Just some advise, no offense.
All good. Everyone has got their personal preference. The string was worn, didn't have a lot for the nock to stick to. I shoot string walking so all the fingers will be under with the right gap according to distance. Cheers.
No, this was a new area and it was my first time there, I revisited it this and I found 3 deer near a stream but spotted me before I could shoot. So it's a pretty good area to hunt
hope that proves to you , leave the bows and arrows to the cowboys and indians, had you had that old 303 you would have wild venision for the next month, you cold have jumped it and put a headlock on it rodeo styles. , did you track where it ran after that random shot, that close it might have gone right throgh, cheers anyways,
When you hit an animal with an arrow it makes a thud sound which I did not hear, I check and smell the arrow and it's a clear miss. I have a .270 rifle in the gun cabinet. The bow got something special about it, when I go in with a rifle I don't see anything, when I carry a bow in magic happens 😂 don't know how that works. Cheers
Mate theres no such thing as a curse, that was just a really unethical shot on the buck. Im not impressed at all, you shouod have either shot it when it walked your way or not shot it at all.
thats what happens when you practise shooting targets side on , when a deer walks towards you , you dont know what to do, when it winds you and takes off you are going to swear,
Bit of deer fevor bro gotta love it
Yup, deer and pigs from now on

Sure is fun to do
After bow hunting for over 10 years, that situation with the buck is pretty normal. I have had it happen more than a couple of times! Keep going
Cool, good to know. I might get a repeat

Yup it's a risky game 😂
Well done mate , don't give up
Thanks mate. Will get one soon, hope it's a good stag like this one
That was extremely cool to see that deer up that close. I'm sure you'll find another with a better angle for the bow
We will see what the next few weeks brings, I got a couple new spots to explore

Still a awesome experience. You know there is a stag there get him next time 🦌
Thanks mate
Why have you gone away from your rifle ?
Bow hunting is more fun. I started hunting with the bow before getting my firearms, and I still like to bow hunt.
You back in nz now mate
Just here for a good time 😂
Mistakes happen, thats hunting. As you say, you will learn from them. On the positive- That deer had no idea you were there
Yes, like being a Ninja in the bush 😂
I spooked a huge red stag yesterday 10m away i could of shot with my compound if i was looking up , i feel yah disappointmemt
Oh yes the - they saw you first 😂 had that happened too many times
Bugger mate. Your going to lose sleep thinking about that
😂 I'm too tired from walking, I fell asleep pretty easily that night. Back to More practice and training on the bow
Well done Khong. Was that buck where you and I went?

Im sure you now realise you should not shoot at a moving target ,at least you didnt wound it
Ok cheers

I still have plenty of time to bag one.
Shooting at a running deer 🤦.
Not cursed, just think your better than you are and need a reality check
Oh it's you again, still haven't crashed into a Ferrari yet
@@selfreliancelife9133 or learnt to take ethical shots
@@jasonthomas6539 you need to look at the video again mate, did you put the volume on mute?

@@user-hk2vp7il4o yes that second goat didn't go far
