 What's happening y'all welcome back to the channel the dusty roads of Texas and we are heading to meet up with some of my buddies right now to carry on a hunting tradition that I've done for years. I am yet to harvest my first whitetail of the season in Texas or anywhere and I've actually purchased quite a few licenses in different states and I'm gonna be doing some traveling to other states to hunt whitetail. I didn't get out there opening day of deer season and really press it that hard just because I've just been able to go on some lifetime bucket list type hunts and it's been incredible but I do love Texas whitetail hunting. What's up LFG folks? He's here and he might not even produce next year. Still a cool deer though. He's at his prime. He's at his peak. He's at his peak. A little past because of the whitetail or breakage but. So we're after him and then we got some does that we need to take out of here. We need to eat some meat. We're at the meat. We're at the eat good. Might as well be called the eat good. Yeah we're not in the career right now but it's back then. It's really been a tradition about four or five years going back for me and outlawed a hunt together and then last couple years we've hunted together so we're hoping to all get something tonight. We got the old bow. To be honest with you I don't feel like great about my shot. It's the first time I've ever had an arrow not even pass through. So I know I shot on shoulder. I just think it was high and if too high it may not be in vitals and I did not get that much penetration. So I'm nervous. The good news is we've got Daisy here. She is a tracking dog and we're gonna have to do a little bit more work but let's go track her down. Here. That's good blood right here. Okay we got a trail. I'm not gonna open it up. Little drop. Yeah she did a circle soak it. Just the sand soaked it up. The wind's gonna pick up around nine ten o'clock too. Next morning y'all. Does not look good. Sick Daisy out on the trail and it was really weird how the trail went. So it started off as just like a little trickle right where the arrow broke off and then we lost it. I had to come back. Daisy really never got on a good scent and then we actually ended up picking it up again. It was making a circle and came almost back to where I first got the water. It got kind of thin and then it was getting late so we just we stopped and going back watching the footage. It just looks like I shot her in an area that is called Oh Man's Land. It's like a weird spot in between the shoulders and the back knee where you're not really hitting any vitals. We're gonna look again this morning. There's still some hope there but what I didn't anticipate was her ducking as much as she did in my mind. That could all happen so fast. I didn't even look like to me that she ducked but she did. Anyway it is time to go out on the hunt again. My boy outlaw. Are you ducking with us? We gotta get your butt wrangled in. So which we saw last night. Let's go. Got the bogey. Just wrapped up our sit this morning with outlaw. We saw four bucks. We're gonna go try to find my dough from last night right now. It's not looking good. It's like above all the bothering two-shot on a smaller buck and the landowner was telling me to shoot. Same shot placement, almost same broad head. I mean it doesn't go in very far but with them ducking hit the opposite shoulder as you go in like over this shoulder and hit the opposite shoulder. Any vitals so you just got you know no bubbles or anything like that. Just kind of like a sore shoulder for them and then whenever they go and duck down under something or they break the arrow off and they seem to be pussied blood you had no spraying or nothing like that. And you just watched them walk away. Just watched them walk away. Like he ran good at first didn't really know what they had. I mean he knew he had an arrow in him but he's just like he broke it off and then just walked away. He was like perfectly fine. I got your dough dude. I can't tell y'all how. So from that time she had went this different different direction. Went all the way around and she'd already bedded down again. She was laying down and stuff like that real thick and I just seen her and I mean we were a little shotless from here to there. She was laying there hurting and it had the scope on it. I feel so much better man. Like y'all were just riding around looking for bucks and then saw her like bedded down. Just standing in the woods probably 10 or 15 yards from us and then when she left she was limping. So that's when we did it. So we kept following her kept following her kept following her and finally she turned to the outside and we could see that wound on her. If you've bow hunted at any length of time you've had these situations happen. It does not feel good. I could hardly sleep last night to be able to get that phone call and they say we got your dough, we got your dough. Like it just feels awesome. You know I feel like I can move on with life now. Oh here's the broad head here. Yeah go ahead and pull that out dude. Hopefully YouTube lets me show this. This is the arrow. This is an exit. Went in right here came out right here. And it would have been fine if she hadn't ducked because our exit would have been here would have hit vitals would have been good. I went wrong and the deer went the wrong way too but I just want to show as a learning lesson. As I was facing it, it's quartering to me. It was actually facing the opposite way. This is how we're going to get the example done here. The situation happened pretty quick. The doughs were getting chased by bucks and just getting run around. So I didn't have a whole lot of time to range. So I ranged the estimated spot where I thought she would walk out. If she did she ended up going that way. And she ended up being a little bit behind that. But I took my 40 pin. She was about 38, 39 yards. And I put my 40 pin right about here. And since she was a little shorter than that she ended up being higher. So my actual shot placement was right there. And that's in where you want to go. And because of this angle right here the quartering to where the arrow exits on the backside that's going to be in more vitals. So what happened was she ducked. And a really good bow hunter would anticipate this. A really good bow hunter was probably aimed right here. With most bows I think past 30 yards you're going to get some string jump a little bit. It's better to anticipate that and just aim a little bit lower. That way you get a hard shot if they don't. Double lung if they do. My arrow ended up a little higher and then she ducked. So I actually ended up getting her right up here. And that is called no man's land because there's really nothing in there. There's no vitals. It's in between the spine. You could spine a deer and knock it down just right where it stands. Right here is obviously the goods. Here is brisket but right here between these shoulders is just a bad spot to be. So it went in at this angle and hit the other shoulder blade on the backside. And she would have lived probably most likely. I've actually seen deer that have been hit in this area a few times. There was really not much blood at all because there's just no vitals going on. It's just straight meat. By the way guys, Mulliman and a boy outlaw, link down below. Mulliman had a crazy hunt this morning. Rattling up some bucks came in like 10 yards right in front of him. And then you guys saw some of the, some of when me and Jared were hunting. But he's going on a lot of hunts this season. So if you want to follow them all, third link down below. And on the next video, we're going to be cleaning this gear up. I got to take it to the processor. And we are on to another hunt. I'm going to be doing a rifle hunt coming up in another state. So you guys stay tuned. We're going to. Ain't good. Ain't good. That's right y'all. So hit the like button for that and we will see y'all on the next one later.
