RE: The dead Spot?
No Red, Sorry if My grammar is off a bit, the shot I made was a very slight quartered angle away from me, not towards me!
These are the three facts that I will take to bowhunters heaven with me.
1. The arrow entered very close in my recollection to the area in Browning,s picture. I know this because she was no more than 15 yards from me as she egressed into the woods at a slow " gallop" I very distinctly saw my red fletched arrow sticking out high behind the Shoulder
2. I could not find not one speck of blood on the arrow.The Snyper blades were jammed with what had to be muscle. Their was a " milky" film present...No Blood.
3. Blood loss was so minamal that I have to commend myself on my tracking skills to have taken it to over 200 yards before I lost the trail completly.
It would seem the enigma of the ' dead" spot shall remain just that...a enigma! Lesson learned? I will def train my aim much lower the next time. I have made my share of mistakes and havent repeated them yet, this incident has just made me a little more deadlier the next time ...The 12 inch pie plate area that I was trained would take down any deer no longer applies to my tactics
