- as far as underdog - ask him to try it with and without adding the buck head to the character, more options the better, I figure.

- re broadheads: not sure that I have enough info, but I've been on the frustration route too. The simple answer is that it sounds like your broadheads are wind planning ( the control surfaces of the feather/vanes are unable to overcome the aerodynamic steering of the blades of the broadhead) - what head/fletching are you using and have you used itsuccessfully before (last year?)?Have you spin-testedyour broadheads?- spin your arrow on a support and see if the tip of thebroadhead is stable - if it scribes a small circle, then you'll need to correct that.Itmight be better to pose the question with all the details to the technical forum - you'd get some experts opinions there.

- re ethics query: (I specialize in teaching hunter responsibility/ethics on our MD Hunter Safety Class Team): one simple filter is to put yourself in the guy's shoes and ask how would you like it if the roles were reversed? To be honest, the "over 20 people have shot at..." raises a BS flag to me. I am not sure what "intensive harvest" and hunt "anytime of the year" means - sure doesn't sound legal. Simply put, do not allow any deer or anyone else for that matter, to putyou insituation where there is a question of legality...
