If this isn't it, it's damn close:
"Like I said - I smashed a muzzy practice head right through the boiler room on a broadside doe - dead in seconds. Dull broadheads have EVERYTHING to do with KE.
I've killed deer with heads as dull as a butter knife. When I was a kid, I was too broke to afford replacements, so we hunted with 'em until they were destroyed or lost. Good shots always did the job.
Not that scalpel-sharp blades won't help (they will) - but they're just another part of the equation, like everything else.
Pretty simple, really. Run a butterknife over your bare skin at 3 fps. Now run it over your skin at 250 fps. It'll rip right through the skin. It's all about the speed and pressure behind it. If you have energy to burn, a dull blade won't make a lick of difference. "

First story is true but funny so I figured Id share it. A guy I hunt with shot a deer coming straight at him and it dropped in its tracks. He tags it and notices no bullet hole. Well he gets ready to gut it and it STANDS UP! It was dazed so he quick shot it again. He had hit it inon the top of the headon the first shot and fractured its skull.
One time my dad and I were scouting a public piece attached to a small preserve, and a guy pulls up to us as Im looking at a doe through binoculars, and says gruffly, "there's no deer here". except for the 200 that get hit on the road every year.... wow

My friends Dad owns 100+ acres here in Ohio. I ask him one day if i could hunt and he told me that I can hunt his property as long as I only shoot bucks, especially the small ones. [:'(]He said that he doesn't like shooting does because then he won't have any bucks coming to his property??????
I just turned around and walked back to my truck and said thanks but no thanks and left. 
Also, true story and funny. Another guy I know went shotgun hunting last year and shot a basket eight one night during season. He usually field dresses them back at his house. Threw the deer in the back of his truck to go home. On his way through town he had people yelling at him to stop and honking their horns. When he came to a stop light he looked back and the buck was looking at him through the back window.
When he got home he got out of the truck and pulled the still alive deer out and finished him off.

this is during bow season, mind you...
I said something to the effect of : "i haven't seen a deer all week. i haven't even seen another hunter out all week either"
aco-worker sais " didn't you even hear any shots??"
this dudes nickname is "Skippy". yeah, he's earned it.
last season my nephew(16) shot a doe which ran onto the neighbors property and dropped. he went to retrieve it and she saw him and came out of her house to gripe at him about it.(major anti hunter)he called me on the walkie and iwent and intervened. during the argument, i told her that she had better keep her stupid goats fenced in and not running all over the mountain during deer season or they may accidentally get shot. her response, in all seriousnous and majorly offended was "my goats are not stupid" of course i laughed at her which only pissed her off even more.

I caught a guy one year mushroom hunting on my farm. When I asked if he new whos ground he was on he said he didn't think anyone owned it!!

Another time I had someone pulled into my drive at my farm. Only way in I could not get in if I wanted too. I parked right behind them (parking them in) and waited. Pretty soon here they come with a big ole bag of mushrooms.. I said they had 2 options....
1. Give me the bag of mushrooms and get the heck out of there and never come back, or
2. Keep the mushrooms but would have to wait for me to get ahold of the county police to come and charge them with trespassing.
Man those were the best mushrooms I ever ate!!

My brother-in-law arrowed a deer from a field stand on the north side of a field. When I asked him which way it ran, he replied..."S-T-R-A-I-G-H-T!!"
