Guest Andrea Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I just had somebody tell me they killed a buck and a doe with one shot from their bow. Somehow I just don't believe this, Is it possible? I didn't think a doe and a buck would be hangin out together that closely right now.

Guest archer8030 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Well, I won't say it's "impossible," maybe unlikely, but not impossible. There would be a lot of variables that would have to be perfect. If in a treestand, you'd have a more severe angle, but if on the ground, the angle could lend itself to such an event. A lot of things to consider. Like I said, unlikey yes, impossible, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Have heard of people doing this with rifles and ml'ers, but dont think I have ever heard of anyone doing it with a bow. Personally I dont think it is ethical practice to take a shot where the animal you intend to harvest is not clear of any others that may be in the path of your projectile. Have seen some bucks and does together here. Just this Tuesday night had some pretty close together in the field at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archer8030 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I agree wtnhunt, not very ethical at all. One should always ensure that the animal is clear of any other animals before taking the shot. Always know what you're shooting at before you shoot, regardless of what weapon you choose.

Guest Andrea Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I don't really know this person that told me this. Don't know a lot of the particulars about it either. For all I know, he could be lying. Just wondered if it were possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archer8030 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? WEll, you figure if he was hunting from the ground, shot the buck, and got a clean pass through and the doe was fairly close on the other side, then yes, the arrow could still possess enough kinetic energy to at least penetrate the doe. So I'd say it's at least possible, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDMAworks4me Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I know a guy who 2 different times has killed two deer with one shot with a shotgun. He just does not wait for the right shot and kills 2 deer. He has smartened up now he was young when he did, luckily he had tags for each deer. I have never heard of killing 2 deer with one shot with a bow. I can see how it would happen though with a lot of deer standing so close and an arrow deflecting off after a pass through and going into the second deer. Probably like the same odds as winning the lottery though IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntin4ever Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I'd say it's definitely possible if ground hunting...if a good double lung shot is made straight through the ribs...I've shot deer and after a complete pass through had the arrow penetrate almost to the fletchings into the ground...sandy soil but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU_Seminole Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I've done it before with my 30.06. Back when I was about 19 I was hunting in a ground blind in a cut soybean field. The deer would walk through this field to get to a corn field on the other side of a small patch of timber. Several does came walking in the field when I decided to take an easy 60 yard broadside shot on the largest. Right as I squeezed the trigger another doe darted behind my target. Upon firing it was a huge dust cloud on the ground behind the entended doe I was shooting at. She ran & fell about 10 yards while the deer standing behind her dropped in its tracks. The doe I was shooting at was well clear. Its one of those freak things that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Have heard of it with rifles but not a bow. I wouldnt see how it would have enough speed and momentom left to kill a second deer. Way to risky to do with a bow rifle or any weapn IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest archer8030 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? It's possible. I've shot deer from a ground blind with my bow, get a clean pass through, and then have the arrow go another 20-30 past the deer. I don't think you could get a pass through on the second deer, but I think you could get enough penentration to kill it. Either way, I wouldn't suggest trying it.

Equalizer Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? must have alot of speed coming out of the first one good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airman312 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Yea... I can see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Yeah I can believe it is possible. If you get a pass through shot on either of the deer and they are standing close enough together I'm sure the arrow were go completely through and hit the other deer too. My step-dads cousin did it with 1 shot from his rifle. He shot at at a buck right through the shoulder. He didn't see the doe standing behind the buck so the bullet went through the buck up the does arse and out her chest. When he went to see his buck he had 2 deer on the ground.

Shaun_300 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Yeah maybe if he has a horseshoe up his rear. It's highly unlikely, isn't very ethical at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuckkilla89 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I've seen it done. A buddy and I were hunting off the ground.He had four does out in front of him. We were about 50 yards apart we could both see each other, but all four deer were in front of him. There were 2 big does standin right beside each other. I was watchin the deer and i looked over at my buddy and he was drawin his bow back. We were sittin on these little camo seats and he drew back sittin down and stood up. When he stood up i looked back at the deer and watched as the arrow hit. The arrow went completely through the first deer and into the other one prety darn good. the first deer ran tword me and feel not even 10 yards from me and the other ran about 80 yards and fell in the thicket. I was stunned.First and Only time I've ever seen it done with a bow or a gun. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? My brother got two deer with one shotgun slug. He killed one doe and wounded another that we were able to retreive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? Definatually not impossible. If you pass through the first deer that arrow can have enought energy to kill the one behind it. Especially with today's super fast bows... --rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricfirefighter Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? i did it once with a rifle just as i was pulling the trigger on a nice doe little spike jumped in front.....man that was a long drag with 2 i think it would be alot tougher with a bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I saw a lady do it on a hunting show about five or six years ago. Complete pass through on the first and it buried to the fletchings on the second. It's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? very unethical shot, would not shoot at a deer with another deer behind it. Thats the bowhunters rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockwave Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? It`s possible, but not very bright. It makes you wonder what some people think when they let loose an arrow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailkiller Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? it is definately possible!!! when i shot my opening day buck i had to wait for a doe to get out of the way, i could have sent my arrow through both and i thought about it. weather was still warm and would have been butchering deer till 5 am.... i was hunting from a ground blind, and i don't think it is possible from a treestand!

Guest HaDeRonDa Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: 2 with 1 shot? I won't repeat what everyone just said but I will say this, Given the chance to take a 2 fur one. I will do it. Winchesters Fail Safe is just the bullet to do it with as well. With a bow I would only try it with a great head like the Sonic and at close range. Lo-pro and tough.
