Default RE: Broadhead and Deer

ORIGINAL: Schultzy

I had my chance at a nice 4 pointer Friday, but my arrow a CE150 fitted with a 145 grain Snuffer, didn't get through the edge of the shoulder, I was off by approx an 1"
A few question's for ya.

Did you hit the knuckle or shoulder blade? How much penetration? How many pounds you pulling? Arrow eight?

Do you see deer every time on the stand?
Nope. I think most people will agree as well that your not going to see deer every time your out hunting.

or do you go a day or two or longer before seing any?
I've went a week without seeing deer. That's hunting and that's how it goes sometimes.
It was the shoulder blade.
My arrows weigh 550 grains and I pull 54 pounds with this bow. the deer broke the broadhead out of the insert, the penetration was what I figured a hair over 2/3 of the head made it in.

We tracked the deer for quite aways till sighn and blood drops gave up, and no sign.

Thanks all for all the answers on the other, now I disregard most of what I read.
