This Giant 200 inch iowa buck was no easy task figuring out! Bowhunting a giant 200 inch deer is alot of hunters dream and it was for me too! hunting giant bucks in the rut was the highlight of my 2019 season. I couldn't be a more grateful hunter!

Even only killing 2 doe’s in my life. This year my first buck will be harvested this year on my dads property I’ve hunted small game all my life to moving to big game. It doesn’t matter if I’m harvesting a small buck it’s the dedication and mind set that make it worth so much more.

I've been watching these plus the deer society, and a lot of these are amazing! I do have one question though- are the arrow you guys use simply arrows, or are they laced or filled with something? I can understand killing the deer with a good heart/lung/headshot, but some videos I see it land in their thigh, lower back, etc. and I always get a bit confused as to how they still killed it. I don't hunt so I'm not very well-versed in the brand or ammo you guys use!

@mississippioutdoors3119 4 жыл бұрын

Apotherena they are just regular arrows but they are broad heads so upon Impact they open up and cut more of an area and even if the arrow enters the back area of it if the deer is facing away from them then the arrow could go far enough into it to hit lung or also it’s guts are further back so if it hits it in the back area and the deer is broadside then it’ll hit the guts and they will wait a few hours before tracking to make sure the deer died because the deer will bed down before it dies and if you track it too soon then you could jump in and have to track it for another 200+yards
