Lol ok

Behind the scenes magic of film making aside, you don't attempt to recover a deer harvested with a bow immediately after the arrow is released unless you are absolutely certain that deer has died. The last thing you want to do is bump a wounded deer. They are incredibly resilient animals and depending on the shot placement, can run many miles wounded and have been known to recover with broadheads still lodged inside them (now that's suffering). Contrary to your opinion, they did exactly the right thing. It appears that they waited for the cover of darkness to leave their stands/blinds, met, discussed and determined that it was safe to attempt a recovery. You have to understand that arrows to not function the same as bullets so it's not uncommon to leave a deer that's been shot with a bow & arrow for hours, even overnight in some situations to ensure the animal has had ample time to bed down and bleed out in relative distance to where you shot it.

@@TheGreenAcreWI yeah, no. I hunted with my Dad for years (including with a bow). Your way is probably safer for the hunter, but unbecoming sportsman behavior. Perhaps the newly cultivated term harvesting is not an incorrect nomenclature. There is no honor in hunting in that fashion.

@@elkewheeler We don't actually know when this deer was technically shot. It could have been minutes before legal light closed for the day. Obviously, that isn't conducive for high quality video production footage. It's possible that the scenes of the hunter in the tree stand were not even filmed on the same day that the deer was actually harvested, again, maybe the weather and lighting were better then next day for instance. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes of video production that the general public doesn't see or understand. You just don't have the full picture of what actually took place during that hunt to make accusations about the ethics around this hunt, non of us do. "While opinions vary, it's generally accepted that a heart shot deer can be recovered right away, double lung shot deer can be tracked within 30 to 90 minutes, a single lung or liver hit deer should likely be given closer to 4 to 6 hours, and a gut hit deer should be given 8 to 12 or more hours." www.themeateater.com/wired-to-hunt/whitetail-hunting/how-long-should-you-wait-to-blood-trail-a-deer I think the Meat Eater is a more credible source than yourself.

@@TheGreenAcreWI As my original post said, I assumed that the production of the photo-op was the issue - and not - let me emphasize that since it seemed to have been lost in your reply, NOT the Zulke's behavior in any way. And you are welcome to use any source you would like to grant you permission to hunt the way you want - I'll take the experience my dad shared and taught us as a hunter in rural south-Central Wisconsin from the time he was four or five, followed by an entire lifetime as a sportsman hunter/fisherman from Alaska to Baja and everywhere in between. You do you.

I couldn't see anything to indicate that. The deer only went 50 yards, and Kim is a good shot 🎯

Look like it was facing him when hit in chest.

The deer was definitely shot in the heart. We have all of the footage of dressing the deer if you'd like to see it.
