Late Season Hang n' Hunt Pays Off | Traditional Bowhunting | Self Filmed

A late season hang and hunt pays off big! I punched my last deer tag of the season with the stick and string. Traditional bowhunting is a struggle, but that makes the success all the sweeter!

I enjoyed your hunt but I cringed at those two shots. I think you already know it now but the first was completely turned away and the second was straight on. Those are both low margin shots and your margin for error is already high with a recurve. Thanks for sharing the story, even with the bad shots. I would encourage you to wait for broadside shots with better access to vitals. With deer as calm as those I don’t think you’ll have any problem next time. Happy hunting!

Hunter to hunter, based on the footage, I encourage you to exercise a bit more patience waiting for better shot opportunities. If I'm mentoring a new hunter, I'd never, under any circumstances, encouraged them to take any of those shots. To each their own but every shot I take is an extremely high percentage shot. I passed up a wall-mounter late October because the high percentage shot wasn't there. It was a 37 yard shot and I'll never take it because deer reaction time reduces the probability of a good shot too much at that distance. I won't take the risk of wounding an animal because I lack patience, restraint or discipline. I'm glad everything turned out right.

such high standards are on the ethics committee every body has to make their own decisions. let them they have to deal with it it always works out

Lee I seen your looking to fix your pluck. Blank bale @ 5 yards solely thinking about keeping your release hand tight along your face & neck trying your touch your back shoulder upon conclusion. Do many small repetitions solely thinking of tight & touch back shoulder! Soon your release hand flying out will feel completely wrong ( which it is) & when done properly your gonna see an increase in fps & hear a crisp sound. Straight back tight along face & neck touching your shoulder as a conclusion. Good luck rest of your shot looks good. I highly recommend Rick McKinney’s winning archery book for a form reference.

Awesome man. I just put up a video of my traditional kill!

Absolutely loved your late season filming and hunt. People don't realize how hard that is to do. I have a theory and it is only a theory, but I'm thinking that these deer could be seeing the lighted nock on your arrows. Recurve bows shoot so slow compared to compounds and crossbows, that the deer may be able to see the lighted nock coming toward them and consequently, they successfully duck the arrow.
