10-5 video

[CHASINEYES]

Got this guy on video using my digital camera. He messed around for 10 min. or so before leaving. After he left another buck was chasing a doe around.

Great vid, you were really yankin his chain with the grunts, funny stuff.

Thanks for the video.

As I watched it my mind went into hunting mode with the question, "Would the buck offer a shot?" I began to watch to see if he would position his body in such a way that would fit my definition of a "takeable shot."

Out in the field there was none, but when he entered the woods the second time he did put himself into a positon for an effective shot.

On your second "bleat" he did stop in what I feel is a great postion. He was stopped and standing at an angle that was slightly away from your position and his right front leg (the leg on your side). I feel this is a key leg position as it opens up the "boiler room" a bit more by moving that heavy leg bone forward.

There were a couple of other occasions during the time lapse of the video when this happened. Of course from the video one can't tell for sure if the intervening brush would interfere with the arrow flight and whether or not you could have manuvered the bow for a shot isn't known.

Think about how similar videos showing deer in various positions in hunting situations could be instructive in teaching bow hunters what shots are makeable with the greatest chance of success. Notice I say "makeable" rather than "takeable". There's a huge difference.

Very good observations and well said. I put the stand up last minute, I was affraid of too much trimming, but I could have done a little more. The shredded limb kind of jumps out at ya.:lol:

Funny thing was, he started talking back to me later on.

Thanks for the kind words. They are appreciated.

The more I think about such an "instruction" vidoe that focuses on the deer's position in relation to the archer and when the most effective shot opportunities present themselves the more I believe there is value in putting together such a video.

When the buck entered the woods and at the point where he stopped at your second "bleat" could you have taken a shot from the position you were in?

Also, was the bleat from a call (tube) or was it a vocalization of yours?

Great vid. ;) Good luck with the one you're looking for.

When the buck stopped at the second bleat I had a very good shot, it was no more than 12 yards and clear of any twigs. Also as you mentioned, his leg and shoulder were slightly forward, his body was also at a slight quartering away position.

The second time he stopped would also have been a shot opportunity, beyond that I would not have taken a shot. Too many small twigs could have interfered with arrow flight, some barely noticeable in the video.

It may have been possible to have a shot before the buck entered the woods the first time. After a bleat, It would have all depened on his body angle and his front leg position.

The bleat was a vocalization of mine. As a teenager back in the 80's thats how I called deer. It was'nt until the late 80's maybe 1990 that I had my first grunt call.

I thought it sounded like a self-made vocalization. Reason: It sounded just like one that I make.......:lol:

There is a thread in here someplace started by a new bowhunter. Among other things, I gave him the URL of your video and told him to take a look at it watching for the second time the deer entered the woods and then pointing out that "Near front leg forward, body angling slightly away" position which I believe to be an optimum opportunity to take an effective shot.

I'm certainly no producer of whitetail videos at all, but I could..........and still can even more clearly........picture an istructional video for many bowhunters using that "Near front forward, body anglin slightly way" scenario as a key ingredient.

I can see it now: "Whitetails For All presents the most effective whitetail hunting instructional video ever made starring CHASINEYES!" :lol:
