Passthrough with no blood on arrow
Has anyone ever had a passthrough with good location (behind leg, middle height) and not have any blood on their arrow?

I am not even sure that is possable!!!!!!!!!

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
Sounds like the shot I had on Friday night. Did your deer trot away like nothing was wrong too?[8D]

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I saw a doe get SMOKED this year....and there was nothing on the arrow but stomach matter.
She was smoked. Shot could not have been better. We figure it picked up food matter from the espophagus. |
RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I've had them have almost no blood. Very fine and thin with still the fletch color clearly visible. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean a dry arrow?

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
sounds like you didnt hit it

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I have. Once. Its usually a high shot. Right above the liver right behind the lungs, right below the spine, is almost a dead zone. They can go forever on that shot.

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
thats how it was for the buck i shot this year. I made a good hit on him, and there was barely any blood on it at all. I thought i missed him at first, then i noticed some blood on the white fletching. The shot was right behind the shoulder and it sliced the heart.......its possible

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I hit a doe last night and had blood going across a field. Continued looking this afternoon and had good blood going through the woods and then trailed it to the water. Lost the blood trail but did some walking and found a dead doe that was comparable in size to the one that I shot. It looked to have been dead for a little while and something looked to have eaten on its side. The shot placement on it was excellent. My arrow had no blood on it whatsoever but was "wet" from something.

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I've misjudged the angle a bit on a deer I thought was quartering away slightly and made what I "thought" was a perfect shot, only to have nothing but guts on the arrow. Even when I recovered that deer she looked to have been hit perfect.... back on one lung and liver.... maybe two inches further back than I'd of liked... but I still made a perfect shot... I was just aiming at the wrong place!
I've also had arrows come out with a lot of tallow on them. Sometimes they aren't always coated in super thick pink froth like I prefer... just gotta go based on the first 20-30 yards of blood trail. |
RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I shot a spike two years ago, perfect shot, perfect pass through. I recovered the arrow and there was absolutely no blood on the arrow. I thought for a couple seconds if i missed it or not, even though I KNEW i made a good hit. He ran 35 yards a dropped. (Sonic 100grn...for anyone thinking theyre too small to kill).

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I've seen this countless times on carbon arrows with good and bad shots. These arrows seem not to grab the blood very well compared to aluminum's. It drives me nuts when I can't read an arrow from someone on there pass through before we go tracking![:@]

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I shot doe about 2 weeks ago. 15 yard broadside. hit her dead center of the lungs with a mid lower mid body exit wound. I saw her run off and saw blood foaming up out of the entrance wound. I then see her stop stand a min and fall dead. I climb down and check the arrow and follow the blood trail. The arrow was almost clean maybe just a tine streak on one side, with some hair on the broadhead. The blood trail didn't begin until about 10 yards out and was sparse at first but quickly picked up to the point that 25 yards in it was easy trailing. If I didn't see the deer go down I would have been more than a little worried about the hit, considering how the arrow looked and the initail lack of blood.

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
I was feeling ok about a buck that I missed on Thursday night until I read this thread. Arrow was clean except some hair on the blade and a little blood on the blade. Arrow (carbon) was clean. Thought at first the shot was perfect but the arrow or the impact site had no blood. I checked the next 5 yards and nothing. I thought I heard him crash, but after I thought I missed, put it off as him jumping. Now I am feeling ill and will have to go back to make sure he didn't start bleeding afterwords and did die.

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
that's why I like to put plain white wraps on my arrows. you can see what shade the blood is, and how much is really on the arrow. :D

RE: Passthrough with no blood on arrow
sounds likea miss to me. If you hit a deer with an arrow and it passes through, it will have to have blood on it. If not, perhaps your eyes are playing tricks on you. Many a deer have been known to duck and jump arrows, and it happens so fast, it may accually look like they got hit.
