One Arrow Shot, Two Deer For Local Hunter

One Arrow Shot, Two Deer For Local Hunter

    Umatilla resident Jason McKinnie recently secured a very rare accomplishment.  While hunting in Georgia recently, McKinnie killed two deer with a single arrow while participating in the state’s annual archery season.
    McKinnie was hunting in Schley County at the time of the unique kill.  Video from his camera shows a small herd of does coming into view, with two in particular standing side by side.  From an estimated 29 yards, McKinnie let fly from his Mathews compound bow with a 700-grain arrow. The animals scattered, with McKinnie quickly tracking the first deer.  In fact, the second deer, which was located shortly after, was a surprise.
    “I didn’t know I hit it until it rolled down the hill.”
    McKinnie estimated the deer weighed roughly 110 pounds each.
