I don't usually post dead animal pictures here, but I can't resist in this case. A past student of mine (who wishes to remain anonymous) just got his first deer on his own with an ideal shot to the heart with his bow. Based on what he told me, I'm going to guess that the deer was quartering towards him and that the blood on the abdomen in the photo is where the arrow exited.This same student came out with me for a day of one-on-one tutoring last fall on the opening day of rifle season and dropped a deer that day with a perfect spine shot after successfully stopping the deer for a shot. Now he did it again on his own with a bow.
And he did it on public land! This hunter read the terrain and found a funnel almost exactly the same as the one which we'd used to get his deer last fall. Then he butchered his kill himself. The best part of all is that he took a new hunter along with him on an apprentice license.
I love getting photos and stories like these from class alumni, students and new hunters who read my book. Send me more, please.
