Deer Jumping The String(duck the arrow)

Deer Jumping The String

What Can Be Done And What Can't

Whitetail deer have instinctively fast reflexes and when conditioned they are very nervous animals. Mix fast reflexes and nerves like that and you get super sonic agility.

Many hunters spend hours upon hours in search of that trophy whitetail, day after day shooting their bow to make the perfect shot, and countless minutes on a deer stand waiting for the moment of truth. Then it happens they get the shot they have been dreaming of, sometimes for years. Just to watch the super sonic agility of a whitetail kick in, duck their arrow(jump the string), watch the deer bound out of bow rang, and look back trying to figure out what the heck just happened. All while the hunter is doing the same thing trying to figure out what, how, and why that just happened.

What Do The Deer Actually Hear When They Are Shot At With A Bow

In the video above you see that the sound of the bow being shot at you is a different sound than just the bow being shot from the same distance. You can hear the arrow coming especially at shorter distances. The video below will explain why I feel that is.

Why is the arrow so loud out to 40 to 50 yards.

As you see it is impossible to silence a bow and the arrow. What can you do to help? The video below I will talk about a few things you can do to help silence the bow and the arrow.

What you can do to help with the bow and arrow noise.

All the talk about, noise of the bow, the sound of the arrow, and silencing a bow is getting old, even to me. Lets talk about some deer!

Deer ducking arrows is always something we as bow hunters will have to deal with. Being prepared to deal with it at the moment of truth is the trick. Knowing the attitude of the deer at the moment you actually take the shot is what it all boils down to. The video below talks about that. Check it out!

Jacob Schmitt started hunting when he was about 4 years of age and he has grow to love bow hunting whitetail deer in his home state of Arkansas. He loves sharing what he has learned over the years to help others become better deer hunters. He feels that it is his duty to give back what he has gained from years of trail and error to those that were not lucky enough to have grown up in a hunting family.
