Just returned from Northern Wisconsin week long bow hunting trip and nothing to show for the effort. Well I did bring back a cooler full of processed venison from the doe I took in early October but nothing fresh this trip.
Passed up on 7 bucks during the week. Well passed on 6 and stuck 1 but only got two drops of blood. Stuck the deer in a rib at 20 yards and then watched the 8 pointer run away with 98% of the arrow sticking out his side. Perfect shot placement, just no penetration. That is one tough deer. Guess I need heavier broadheads (shooting 85 grain) to bust through that last rib next time. And I'm shooting 65 pounds. May have to up the draw weight as well.
Better yet, time to get out the real firepower. Gun season starts this weekend so I'll be back with the stick (and heavier broadheads) in December.
Good luck to all and be safe.
