RE: Finding stuff in deer
I shot an antelope this fall that had been shot at least 2 other times before I came along. The shots weren't this years wounds, they were from last year or even longer. The first wound appeared to be a broadhead wound through the neck, that was healed up nicely. The second wound appeared to be a rifle shot in almost the same spot thru the neck. The poor critter had come close to being harvested a few times in his life!
When I was little my dad shot a buck that had a thunderhead 125gr broadhead in the brisket. No arrow shaft or anything. Really makes ya think twice before reaching in an grabbing stuff!
