In my experience over 23years of doing this the majority of bad/marginal hits are BACK a bit, just like that one, and that's where bigger wins the day
I don't agree with you entirely Matt. When growing up our whole family shot 2 blade 1 1/8 Satellite Titan's and 2 blade Bear Razor broad heads and not once did we loose an animal to a bad hit. We treated the questionable hits with respect and didn't push these animals, that's what got our animals that we were after. People can use axe's but If they don't practice good tracking techniques there not going to get there animals. Jeff did exactly what people should do. Jeff deserves the credit here, not the head.

Absolutely Jeff deserves 100% credit for recovering the deer properly.......but I've seen too many instances where these bigger heads IMo DO kill them quicker.

Just as a friendly example Steve.........why do you shoot a big probably 1 1/2" 3 blade Magnus Snuffer instead of a little 1" cut Magnus 2 blade if they both kill exactly the same? The 2 blade will penetrate better everytime?

No need to answer, this is Jeff's thread and I don't want to clog it up but just roll that around in your mind. You shoot it because it's bigger you think it kills more effectively, there is no other practical reason right?

I'll PM you Matt.;) Didn't mean to clod your thread Jeff, sorry.

No problems at all, Schultzy. The discussion can be educational. This entire thread was posted for THAT reason. This is NOT an "atta-boy" thread. I mean that.

Post away. The discussion is welcomed.

Jeff,
You said "I didn't field dress this doe...."

If you get the time can you explain what you mean by this?? I understand you didnt "gut" the deer in the field, but did you do it at home?? I guess not because you didnt "autopsy" the deers vitals, so what and how did you clean up the deer without removing the guts??

I know I am stupid, but I just cant picture how this is done, and I have probably cleaned up 40-50+ deer???

Thanks

Ohhh and congrats on both the deer!!
