RE: Have you ever dropped a deer in it' s tracks?
I had 2 last year. The first was a beautiful doe almost straight down from the stand, the spitfire went through her spine and straight down slicing the inside edge of each lung, through the heart and just made it through the breast bone and hide to stop about 2" out of the deer. She was done instantly.
The second was a seven point at 25 yards in NY. It was 1 of those shots that is just perfect, he is completely broadside head down eating acorns, perfectly framed in a clear window. I picked the " spot" and didn' t even realize I had touched off the release and watched the arrow all the way to him. He raised his head for a second and looked around and didn' t even flinch after the arrow zipped though him, then lowered his head to eat another acorn. If I wasn' t looking at my bright red arrow sticking in the dirt on the other side of him I would have sworn I' d missed. He raised his head chewing on acorns and then just kind of tipped over and let out 1 last breath. The shortest bloodtrail I' ve ever had on a non spine hit deer.
