Broken Arrow in Deer
I have found that if I wait long enough someone will usually post the question, in some form, that I would like to know the answers to. However this has not seem to come up or if it did I missed it.
To set up my question, this will be my first year of bow hunting. My setup is possibly my problem. I have pulled the muscle or something in my upper left arm so I can only pull, with somewhat ease, 57 pounds on my Hoyt Cyber. If it matters I will be shooting alum Easton arrows with muzzy 100 grain BH.
Now my question, let's say your shoot a deer and you see the arrow go into the deer. No pass through. You find either at the point of impact or later while trailing the deer the back portion of the arrow.
After you find the deer you still have not found the front portion of the arrow. You know that portion with that razor sharp BH. When gutting a rifle shot deer, you don't worry about the bullet. If you find it great, take it home and weigh it.
Again, assuming you don't know if that broad head is in the deer or not. How do you go about gutting this potentially "dangerous" dead deer.
As you can tell, I am assuming that I will possibly not get a pass through. But either way, I haven't seen a question like this posted. Just curious what you experts have done in this situation.
