Game Camera Catches Bowhunter’s Shot!

Hunters that spend any amount of time in the woods get to see some really awesome things, sometimes events you don’t quite believe yourself! The same can be said of some game camera photos and that is the case today. I received these photos via email and the story is simple, but one photo in particular is really quite amazing!

The photo I am referring to is the middle picture below, which captures a white-tailed buck in flight just a split-second after being shot by a bowhunter. As far as can tell, the photo appears to be real despite looking surreal.

The two biggest factors that make the photo unbelievable are first that the buck appears transparent towards the back of the body and then secondly that the game camera photo actually captures the buck in mid-flight, with an arrow in its side, and blood coming out. Cuddeback camera users know that transparent or ghostly deer photos are not uncommon, so I think this photo is simply luck — and a good shot!

More on These Photos

My 15 year old cousin (Logan) shot this buck. The next day he want back and pulled this photo off of the camera. He was as stunned as many are. I can tell you that I was supposed to get a copy of the picture last week but they wrote my email address down incorrectly. I sent this post website link to Logan’s Dad (Brian)and sure enough this is his picture. We can not believe that the picture found its way to a South Carolina website when Brian said he has only sent it via email to a few friends. Brian just forwarded me me the email that he sent Cuddeback with the original photo so this picture can be validated by either Cuddeback or my cousin.

They had not showed it to anyone (outside of a printed picture to local friends) until they contacted Cuddeback. Cuddeback thought the picture was incredible however it was to graphic for them to use as in the past – they said anything such as this has had the PETA people in an uproar.

Technology is a great thing and motion-activated cameras are one of the best tools for taking inventory of the deer found on a property. Specifically, digital game cameras make scouting white-tailed deer and other wildlife species easy and fun. It always feels like Christmas day when pulling an SD card out of one of my cameras — can’t wait to get home and open up those folders!

Because game cameras are easy to use and offer the hunter a “window” into the secretive world of wildlife, they have grown rapidly in popularity. The quality has also improved greatly and the price-points have come down too. With all the trail cameras placed out around feeders, food plots, and other random locations, a myriad of photos are taken 24-7.

One of the great things about using motion-triggered cameras around feeders is that it allows us to see some strange wildlife photos that we would otherwise never get to see. From time to time, I hope to share these odd photos I find, receive, and take with you.
