Be careful when cleaning that deer!

Killed this past weekend on my farm. The 257 Roy strikes again. Buddy got a surprise when working the deer up later.....

Very cool!! Well, not for the hunter who stuck it.

 

[Football Hunter]

wow!

Over the years, I have probably found half a dozen broadheads in deer I have killed.

 

[Rubberduck270]

I found a broadhead in a deer last year. Nearly a spine shot but it had completely healed and showed no signs of infection or anything. Tough animals for sure.

From the looks of it it appears that the bowhunter shot alomost stright down on the deer and got little penetration.

Can you please mail me my thunderhead back as well as a backstrap? Thanks

 

[woodsman87]

No, that is my deer! I wan't it back now!

 

[Don'tDrinkTinks]

wow... thunderhead to the spine and he lived? that's crazy!

 

[Winchester]

Yep, Ive pulled all manners of broadheads and bullets out of them. One with a muzzy and 10" of arrow still attached comes to mind! Unbelievable animals!

Reason #89 why archery spine shots are a bad idea.

It makes me think about a couple of other things, as well, like broadhead performance (mechanicals?) and sharply downward-angled shots, like twenty-five feet above a deer that's only a few steps away from the tree. It's always the bowhunter's call, but I'll say this. I'd take getting busted over getting only one lung, any day. I haven't bow hunted in a few years, but I never tried mechanicals, and doubt I ever will. Never tried a spine shot, either.

Had to be right under the stand for that kinda shot placement. Glad you found it without being cut.
