Rhino Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 You're hunting with your bad luck buddy. You're trying to get a nice buck kill on camera taking turns hunting. It was your buddy's turn to hunt and you were behind the camera. You took you bow anyway just in case the opportunty was offered to get a double kill on camera from the same set of stands. With light to film the hunt gone your bad luck buddy lowered his bow to the ground. It's the last couple of minutes of legal shooting hours. You just finished quietly putting the camera away when this buck with split G2's on both sides walks in at 15 yards and stops to smell a lick branch. Your bow is still hanging on your bow holder and your buddy is in a state of total confusion wondering if he should try to raise his bow now or not. In your mind he's lost it! What do you do? Do you take the shot even though it was his hunt to start with? Where would you smoke him if you shot? What are you going to say to your buddy if you smoke this one? BTW...hutchies this was a GREAT idea you came up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Are we on the ground ?? or are we in a stand ?? If in a stand, what's the elevation ?? Just before I pick a spot .. If your bad luck buddy lowered his bow to the ground you must be in a tree Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 If your bad luck buddy lowered his bow to the ground you must be in a tree Luke. :oops: my bad Al, sorry I missed that line .. :no: Well, since my nitt witt buddy went and lowered his bow to the ground, this shot is all mine .. This shot seems to be quartering away so I'm going with the 2nd. green dot down .. As to what I tell my buddy ,, I'll see you same time tomarrow, and this time stay put until it's time to leave ..

HunterLuke Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'd look at my buddy and wink at em', draw back and let the muzzy fly and hit the top red dot since we're elevated and take some lungs and maybe a heart. Of course I'd share some of the back strap with him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 yea after takeing the shot at the top red, to smoke both lungs, id look at him and after seeing the look on his face tell him you snose you loose should have kept your bow till lights out, maybe tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Let fly a Beman ICS Bow Hunter 400 from my Mission Journey tipped with a Rage 2 blade broadhead and watch my Easton Tracer vanish through Yellow 2 and take out the lungs. Dead deer in less than 100 yards I guarantee you and I'll let my buddy drag him out; after all, it was supposed to be his deer.

redkneck Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Buddies come and go, but deer like that last a lifetime. :clown: Seriously, no way am I not taking that shot, highest red dot considering the point of view is diff than the shooting angle. btw.... You sure we aint spotlighting Al? Sure looks dark there! Not that I'd know what a deer would look like with a light shining on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Chris has shot my bow before, so I hand my bow to him and hit record on the camera. After he arrows the big brute, he falls in love with my Hoyt Alphamax 32 and gets one for himself. Hoyt gets wind of all the giant bucks falling to his arrows, sponsors him and gives him his own hunting show on OLN. I become his full time camera man, only able to hunt on my own during management hunts with the outfitters that beg him to hunt their properties, you know, big does and mature 8 pointers only. Eventually, he and Waddell team up, create a new show called "Hoyt's Huntin' with Polish Rednecks" and hot, blonde 20-somethings scream, squeal and faint at the sight of him....... You're welcome buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Id tell my buddy, "Better luck next time" and smoke this big boy. Top yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12-point Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 second red he will understand he has done it to me before ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 OH yeah..he's smoked. 2nd or 3rd yellow from the top. All I can say to my buddy is "Hey, that'll teach ya for quitting 5 minutes too soon. Ya snooze, ya lose." :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastynissan4487 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Top Red from a tree stand. Far as the buddy goes, better luck next time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Eventually, he and Waddell team up, create a new show called "Hoyt's Huntin' with Polish Rednecks" and hot, blonde 20-somethings scream, squeal and faint at the sight of him....... You're welcome buddy! Give the guy a 6 of Killians, some burgers and dogs and wife's famous cookies and he's putty in your hands. Polish Redneck--that's funny right there. BTW--Red #2, and yes, Tom would understand, as I would if he shot that deer out from under me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Third yellow from the top. Give my buddy the opportunity to snap out of it just before I draw my bow, if he does not snap out of it I am taking that shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Top yellow for me on this one....Gives me the most room for error in my opinion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 There is no I in Team................but me is in there:D. The odds of getting 2 on film is slim anyway. There are only 5 min. left and it is your turn tomorrow so your buddy should be a team player and let you shoot that deer. It may be 3 or more years till you guys get another tag. Shoot him 2nd red from the tree and your bad luck buddy extends his bad luck till tomorrow:poke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) btw.... You sure we aint spotlighting Al? Sure looks dark there! Not that I'd know what a deer would look like with a light shining on it. Cropped from a Kansas TC pic John. Chris has shot my bow before, so I hand my bow to him and hit record on the camera.

You're welcome buddy! Give a man a few Killians and he becomes a fortune teller eh Chris? Edited July 7, 2009 by Rhino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 BTW...I smacked the buck at yellow 3 from the bottom while my buddy still had this look on his face. When he looks up at me I want to make sure I give him a BIG followed by a :flex:then a short pause before telling him tomorrow's another day. That is if he doesn't take the short pause opportuity to express his true feelings before I can mention my thoughts about tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 This is why my hunting buddy and I shoot each other's bows. Unfortunately, I can't hit the broad side of a barn with his bow. I'd pass him my Instinct and let him cut a hole through yellow #2. After all, what are friends for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) 3rd green dot from the bottom,, if you miss 2 inches to your left your going to drill him and if you miss 2 inches to your right you'll hit the liver and he'll go a hundred and fifty yards and fall over,,and yes i would shoot b/c theres noway your buddy will be able to pull up his bow and shoot without spooking the buck Edited July 7, 2009 by The Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop-time Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Top red, consider him dead. Pumpstation disconnect complete. Crimson trail leads to glory. Elbow deep in the cavity- only thing hold'n me to the ground is gravity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
