Do deer actually duck your arrow? This question is passed around by bow hunters across the nation and in this video we unpack some information on this and shot placement on moving deer.
Running whitetail deer are my absolute favorite thing to draw and paint. A graceful high jumper, explosive sprinter and fierce competitor, the white-tailed buck is a natural born athlete.
His agility and athleticism are rivaled only by his durability, toughness and cunning. As an artist, it’s an absolute privilege to depict such an animal.
As a bowhunter though, moving whitetail deer present a challenge. In my studio, I can freeze a buck in time and give myself hours, days and even weeks to study and paint him in the pose that I choose.
In the deer stand though, all I can do is give him a hoarse grunt with my mouth and stop him for a couple seconds, and rarely in the perfect position for a shot.
To help my fellow bowhunters in our shared predicament, here’s a collection of art and information showing whitetails in motion from my popular print, The Anatomy & Physiology of the White-tailed Buck.
I spent months researching and drawing the anatomy of white-tailed deer, with the help and advice of expert biologists and hunters from across North America.
Hopefully this art and video will help you this fall!
