Maybe it is the fact that I had to use two arrows and didn't tell that story that resulted in 68 views and only one response...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>...though I am happy for the response Antler Eater.

To answer your questions....I shot the doe at approximately 30 yards with the Hammerhead 4 blade first. The arrow entered and exited the deer at the base of the neck. The arrow penetrated both sides and fell onto the ground right behind where the deer collapsed. Yes, the deer collapsed. It looked as if I hit her with a 270 not an arrow.

The doe thrashed several times but I could not shoot her again from the treestand as she was out of my shooting lane. So, I proceeded to get down from the treestand. Upon approaching the spot where the deer had fallen I noticed that the ground was all torn up but she was not where I had last seen here. I looked down the trail approximately 20 yards and there she was...standing! She proceeded to take a few running steps and the collapsed....she did this twice before I could get within range and settle a pin on her chest. She was laying on her side with her feet pointing towards me when I put the second arrow (the Naildriver) through her at twenty yards. The Naildriver entered in the brisket and exited out of the back. It was laying several feet behind the deer when I went to retrieve it. She died within a minute or two of the second arrow being shot.

I think that pretty much sums it up.
