Received this email, thought it was kind of interesting so I thought I would share. I assume this is around Sydney, NE.,and the photo is a little wierd looking due to the utility poles anchor wire in the background. Here it is...

Deer story... myth busters here I come (check this out)

You won't believe this one.I was hunting out in Sidney this past weekend for my muzzleloader buck. Well I got him. I'll make a long story short. First off, Mike kept telling me he saw a buck with an arrow through his head. I thought he was full of it, but he kept telling me he saw it again. Saturday evening we saw this buck jumping around going out of control from about 350 yards away.
Mike told me it was probably the one with the arrow in its head.
The buck was with another one that night. The next morning I sat up in the tree stand and waited, all of a sudden at about 10 minutes after sun up, there were two bucks that came right to the side of my stand, 30 yards. I saw the arrow instantly and didn't know what to think. Anyways, he ended up giving me a shot and I took him.
Looks like the arrow was in there probably at least a couple months or more. No blood or anything and you could move the arrow.

Now check out the pics!

God bless this man for putting the poor deer out of its misery.
As the bow hunter said to the deer, "This will hurt you a lot more than it will hurt me."

Read an article in a deer mag one time about a guy warning about taking shots at deer straight down on them. According to him he shot a buck one season straight below him. The arrow went between the shoulder blades and came out the chest. The deer bucked and took off. He never found it. A year later he was hunting the same stand and saw a buck coming from his right. It was the same buck, had the arrow sticking out of its back. The deer got to within 50 yds or so of the stand and made a wide circle avoiding the stand.

Thats gives alot of bowhunters a bad name[V]

As a experinced bow hunter i can tell you that 90% of the bowhunters out there are very responsible people and will only take shots that they know they can make and would never try to shoot one in the head like that.

Its the other 10% that are stupid and think that they never have to practice and that you can kill a deer by just hitting hit.

Those people give the rest of us bowhunters a realy bad name[:(!]

Took a six pointer several years ago, and while we were dressing it, we found a broadhead embedded in the backstrap against the spine. We checked the hide and found a healed up entry wound. My wife's cousin had shot it with his bow the year before when it was a spike and lost it. He was healthy and fat, so the broadhead didn't seem to adversely affect him.
