It’s a crossbow kill. It doesn’t count as an archery kill in my book.

To all the idiots clambering about safety, that is a Ten Point crossbow. He could hold the thing to his head and pull the trigger and it wouldn't fire. It has a anti dry fire device that makes it almost impossible. As for the legitimacy of a crossbow kill as apposed to a compound, quit your bitching! I hunt with both, and honestly my Mathews is faster. Why not want to use a weapon that allows for less practice, and less movement to shoot. The deer still has to walk in front of you! Give it a rest, it's getting old!

Besides being a gun on an archery page???????

Alot of guys here aren't bowtechs.... they dont know how scary a freaking crossbow really is. I dont want to be behind them. Let alone in front! Bolt or not!

Man, sure are a bunch of haters on this page!

Not to piss anyone off but any weapon should be pointed towards the ground. Safety first. I have a tenpoint and yes it has a saftey device on it but still.

There is no bolt on the Xbow however, still not a good practice to leave it cocked regardless of the model and safety features. Safety features fail and it is up to the hunter to protect himself with good decisions.

What’s wrong with picture? I’m not the behind the deer, very nice buck dude. Forget all the bullshit people say. Congrats

Crossbow is cocked and pointed right at the hunter. I don’t see an arrow loaded in the crossbow, but he isn’t safe.

Don't care what kind of safety it has on it. Still should ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS AT ALL TIMES PRACTICE SAFETY FIRST WITH ALL WEAPONS. Is this the way he does things with all of he's weapons? I wouldn't hunt with him and hopefully if he has kids they practice safety a whole hell of a lot better then he does!!!!! My opinion! The other, whatever. Is a very nice buck.

There’s no bolt nocked, so I say he’s good. That is assuming the crossbow doesn’t explode if it goes off.

BHOD “not tucking the legs, not getting down to ground level to make photo look better, not using good composition” 😜 sorry I had too. Bowhunting.com

At least the cocked crossbow isn’t loaded....even so, one bump and that thing could still ruin his day.

Safetys fail it's right in the hunters safety course it's mechanical materials fail

And the Darwin award goes to...

Not someone I would want to hunt with. Never take weapon s no fety for granted.

oh i am guessing if that goes off, he is going to be seriously hurt, if not a broken arm

Does not look like 192" inches of antler to me, maybe it's the crappy camera angle. Congrats on a good deer....

Arrow is right behind him on his left

With those eyes it looks like it was spotlighted

At least there’s no bolt loaded

Crossbow is ready to fire and aimed right at his guts.

No blood and crossbow is cocked

His crossbow is cocked and facing his chest?

That’s gonna leave a mark!!
