Look again. Crossbow is cocked and there is a bolt in it.Crossbow is not cocked, meh.
Now he could have waited on the smoke imo.
Look across deer stomach. String from cam to nock of bolt.Doesnt look cocked too me.

I think maybe you guys saying it's not loaded/cocked are looking at the cam cables and thinking they are the string.
Look closer, that is very much a loaded and cocked crossbow (and an idiot).
I retract my statement you are right.
I see the string now.Can't fault anybody for not seeing that. Some might not know compound bows/crossbows to know there are cam cables , but more than that the string is a thin light line even on my nice big desktop monitor. I'd imagine people on phone screens and such might not have the easiest time seeing it.
