Unbelievable !!! Poor thing.

I know he must still be out there looking for his crossbow bolt.

I’m kidding of course

Sorry I AM SICKENED by this.
Looking at angle it was shot from a stand..
1st, Why would anyone use a field tip
2nd, Why would you aim for the head,

This gives a lot of amo to the haters

As far as I am concerned this individual should not be called a hunter, We all make mistakes, but we eliminate as many possibilities of a mistake,

Sorry this really does bother me

I dont see a field tip
How do you know it wasn't shot by some kid out his bedroom windows

You seem to be making a lot of assumptions

I would be willing to bet that the people who feed that deer in the video were able to unscrew the broadhead so that the deer didn't injure itself further.
Poor animal.

If that's the case they could have pulled that arrow out very easily

Dutch, seriously..a kid...a kid can pull back a string to ? The trajectory of the arrow shows it was pretty close so thru a bedroom window I don't think you would be able to shot that angle.....would a a broad head not do a lot more damage to the tissue both enter and exit?
I am willing to bet the individual put in a field tip to shoot at a racoon or some other rodent and the deer came by and he took his chance..and betting he was going for neck or spine.

I think you are right as far as a field tip. My thought was it may have been a youngster too.

The trajectory of the arrow must be taken right out of the equation because deer move their head. If that buck has his head down to feed it dramatically alters the perceived trajectory.

Sorry, but that is stupid. A raccoon is tough, your going to need a broadhead.. target or field tips will not do it.

Are we sure it's a crossbow bolt? From the video,to me,it looks like a broken off arrow shaft. We'll soon find out. I read where OMNRF staff drugged the deer and removed the shaft.

Yup they are great on big jacks too. They cut but not being sharp they also impart a lot of blunt force as well.
