Congrat' s like everyone else !!!!!
But you posted on a public forum so...........IMO leaving a wounded deer to go get a knife because you didn' t want to dull another arrow is rediculous !!! If your broadheads are resharpenable.....it only takes a few minutes......if the blades are replaceable........it' s only a couple of bucks !! To me ......if your going to hunt ....you should make every effort to kill the animal as quickly and humanely as possible.........and make every attempt to find them (if needed) !!
Again , glad you got your first one......but would like to here a better recovery story next time !!
