For Ty to act like a victim like I trolled him is pathetic I never have. I simply said that pointing out products used did not need to be part of the story. Congrats on the buck be honest why were all the name brands called out? Had no bearing on the outcome of the hunt
Bottom line it's my story I can tell it any damn way I please. You don't like it or agree with me being pleased with the products I use well that's too bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Fully aware is Finny, I and anyone else. You in essence came here, made the comments in an effort to prove a "point" hoping to cause a stir...definition of trolling. Oh, and no worries not even the tiniest part of me feels like a victim. It was well explained that the reason why Fin added the product names is because he wanted to, not because he had to...but it adds a layer to the story that otherwise would undoubtedly leave guys wondering. TV Hunter wanna be is about the last thing I'd describe Fin as, he is a normal everyday type guy like 90% of us on the forum who LOVES hunting. The fact you were offended or perturbed by the mention of a few products he used on the hunt is mildly amusing and sad. Oh my word and this is coming from a guy that doesn't use a Mathews Bow, Killzone broadheads or Lone Wolf stands.....I guess I should be mad as well. Good luck this year bud with whatever products you utilize, I hope you down a big one (dead serious!) and no one backhands you when you share the success story with a underhanded dig as you did.
I must be missing something. Guess we better change rules of contest, don't wanna be plugging any gear when I post my equipment used. Or I'll haveta put tape over the under armour symbols on my camo. Nice story Finn, good luck this year. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk
It's a real shame that we're discussing anything but Finn, his buck and the tribute the buck was for. Some people will ruin anything and it's a real issue when they can't just be happy for another person. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Great story and congrats on a great deer man!!! So all and all the deer went 50-60 yards after the shot? I have a little piece of property (9 acres) where I have gotten decent trail cams pics of bucks at, but I am always nervous to hunt it in case the deer makes it off the property after the shot. This is my only concern with small acre hunting, especially when neighbors are not the best. I have hunted it a handful of times and would essentially like to hunt it more, especially as the season progresses cause like you said in your story, the deer like this little pocket of land to hide out from the hunting pressure.
Do you have any relationship with the neighbor at all? I would attempt to make it very clear you WILL NOT be hunting their property nor will you ever begin a recovery without their permission...if that goes bad, explain to them that you will be in contact with authorities to hopefully help in the recovery than but you will not again enter their property without their knowledge. Some states it is law, some it isn't but a good C/O or police officer can assist.
Awesome, thanks for the advice! Will def try to go about it the right way and try to speak with the neighbor all the way across the property and the one behind our house. Feel like this little hideaway could actually pay off and do not want to neglect it lol
I even have permission to access a vet's property now because I went and explained everything and stressed I would only need access when needing to make a swift recovery so that the deer doesn't go to waste...if I have to recover a deer that year I even get them something to put inside of a yearly thank you letter.
You just gotta be on your A+ game! That deer made it probably 150+ hard to say he stayed on the property though. Any other direction may have been a different story. You just gotta be sure of your shot. Id defiantly give it a go!
Oh also a little tip is to study and learn how deer will "likely" react to certain shots....perhaps I should do a video on this....yeah I think I may. There are times I have waited for the deer to take another step or two past me to hopefully have a greater chance of likelihood of recovery without worries.
Great point I did the same with this buck. I could have shot him closer, but chose to wait for a better angle. A couple yards can make a huge difference ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good stuff thanks Finny! Think I might have to now! Again, great buck and congrats! Sounds good, like watching your videos Ty! I was actually thinking the same thing also...I know I have a good tree for a stand with good back cover and its is where the deer funnel through from the hard woods to the open CRP field.. if you wanna call it that, its only about 80 yards long by roughly 45 yards wide. They always take this same path...was thinking let him take those extra steps for a nice quartering away shot ripping through both lungs! Hopefully that deflates him quickly!
It's not only about getting a better double lung chance it is the general response yielded over time from multiple hits that a hunter can begin to judge using terrain and location of deer to how the impact will feel as to where the deer is "more" likely to run off to. My good hunting friend Bill Vale has hunted a lot lot longer than me and over the years from his own first hand experiences and a few others he trusts noticed something as I stopped and thought about it I have as well...say a deer is moving away from you (left to right) and is now quartering away from you....upon arrow impact this deer has felt danger from it's right rear....naturally this deer is going to flee initially away from this...leading the deer in a flee path in the same general direction she/he was heading while maybe peeling off to it's left in order to flee danger. Obviously hunt long enough you'll learn many times the deer will circle back at times due to cover or winds at the time of the shot, but if a deer dies within the first 50-100 yards generally speaking this held true for them and it became natural for Bill in some situations to wait for certain shots....example: Hunting a tree line field edge...one side of the tree line is a neighbor's you do not have permission to hunt and you know while he lets you doesn't make it enjoyable to make the recovery call request we all dread....so positioned off a trail entrance out into the field/opening....Bill would wait until the deer was out into the field enough to where the impact would be felt as if coming from the rear of the deer and it would initially flee away or out into the field more and often times die on the property he had permission to hunt.
Makes perfect sense and now that you say that, all the deer I have shot have done exactly this. Thanks for the insight man, I appreciate it!
