The zombie Buck

Zombie deer comes back to life! - YouTube

My son's first buck. After 3 hours of tracking we found his 6 point buck. The deer comes back to life when he goes to grab the horns for a picture and runs off. Had to chase him down for the finish. I should have known better being that his eyes were closed. Thats a hunt he will never forget!

He said 'shoot em! What the crap! Shoot him dad' :)

We were shooting 125gr green tip supersonic 300 blackout. Range was 40 yards.
I've been hunting almost 30 years and that was a first for me.
I really thought he was dead since it had been 3 hours since the shot and we were being so loud walking up on him without so much as a flinch.
Poor kid wanted that deer so bad it was a real emotional rollercoaster. Builds character! It all worked out in the end after chasing the buck down and finishing the job.
 
Awesome. Thanks for the details and sharing your experience. I wondered if it was a 300 when I saw the small mags.

I would have thought that would have toasted the lungs. I've seen bow kills still warm the following morning.
