You can look at this 2 ways; if Buckmaster wasn't using the Rage, he wouldn't have killed this doe. He'll tell you that himself. None of the vital-organs were hit here. This would have been another low-hit, injured deer if the cutting-diameter was smaller, or the blades in a different position at the hit. It was a bad shot that turned out well because the blades were in the right position to open her hide up like this.
But on the other hand, this was a purely lucky kill, regardless of the head.Look at that picture real close; if the hit was an inch lower, or an inch or 2 further forward or back, it would have been a much different outcome. He hit her on the right-side, with her right leg forward and her left leg back, mid-stride. If the hit was just an inch farther back, it would have hit that big bone right there. How would it have turned out then? And if he were using another head, he would have hit that artery just the same, which was pure luck. (Sorry , but I can't seem to draw on it to show everything I'm talking about)
I really think some of you guys are getting carried away with this "awesome" broadhead. I mean, there's no doubt it cuts a big hole, but so what? There's ALOT of deer taken that go nowhere nearly as far as this doe did, with smaller holes. This one was just a lucky shot and outcome, no offense to Buckmaster.

. But just for the record, I did get the bottom of atleast one lung. You have to realize this doe was a fawn. I could pic her up with one hand. Maybe that caused some confusion IDK. And Guys:
You keep saying "A well-placed shot with any other broadhead will kill just as good" and in the same breathe you say " The Rage would tear up too much meat"...
Not if you make a well-placed shot.

You gotta admit, BHF....
When people get to a point to where they're denouncing a BH designed to kill deer......by stating it's too devastating and "overkill"......
Ya gotta love that.[8D]

I'm not knocking the head at all. It works great, I just choose not have a huge mess with half the deer or turkey gone. lol I guess I am lucky I usually see or hear the deer drop after I shoot. I was stating my preference certainly not taking anything away from hunters who choose this head. I do hope people still pick the shots and go for clean kills instead of letting it fly because I have a RAGE. lol

I really don't know Steve, and if I wouldve known this thread wouldve gone this way, we wouldve done a Video Outopsy report. All I know is the blood was pink, bright red and Bubbly. I assumed at least one lung. Maybe not.
There was a PERFECT 2" exit in her left leg, sort of in the "bicep" I guess you could say.

I always Inspect what I hit, a person learns from It. No malice Intended towards you at all. You got the deer, good job!

notice the----->I wish I would have inspected more closely myself, but was explaining/Disecting, the heart to Keisha when I got that far.and never really thought anything about it.I do know that it cut her sternum(?) in two... (the tuff part to cut when your gutting a deer in the chest, through the brisket)
