thanx guys.

looks like i didnt post the shot pics...

i smashed both lungs and cut all the arteries or whatever off the top of the heart. one lung looked like i hit it with my Mauser the other was center punched. arrow blew straight through and the buck made it 20-30yds tops. watched him tip over. heard him suck air a couple times but i knew he was gone...i was VERY surprised at the lack of the blood trail. i TRIED to follow it back to find my arrow. i had a couple feet right before he dropped. you can see his hide is clean(i didnt touch it..) but inside was FULL of blood. guess it didnt reach the holes...i cannot complain. the 125gr 3blade muzzy did its job. i did mine..

you can see the entrance here a little better..i never took any of the shot...


(guess my buddy caught me off gaurd..but really looks like im looking down and admiring him lol...i like it



heres the entrance, hide off



heres the exit, hide off



i really couldnt be happier with the shot. heck if you look at the pic of "where he was standing" and the shot of his white belly laying, your looking at the same yellow tree in both pics..he didnt go anywhere. some reason the shot entrance looks higher than it was with the hide on. must be the angle...but you can see it good hide off. you can see where the blades sliced the far leg wide open on the way out too...it must been back when the arrow went though..

PS...talk about a FAT deer. that thing had 1/2 inch of fat on most of him. between that and the meat i left on the hide, my taxidermist might whoop me lol.

hope all my shots are like that. i just already know i gotta start THINKING. i never anchored, never thought about the shot(beautiful crease i put the pin there and let er go) dont remember releasing or anything. i just remember drawing and watching that arrow sail home..same thing with my turkey shootin. i woulda had this years mounted if i didnt blow it up by shooting it in the wing with hevishot i dont remember pulling the trigger lol...i need to slowwww down and think.
