Default What should i do about the arrow?

Hey everyone, i'm an inexperienced bow hunter and i'm wondering what you do with the arrow after you've shot your deer, you've found it and your ready to gut. I mean should i pull it out? Like i might snap off right? Thanks, Jonathan

definitely pull it out if its stuck in there before you gut the deer!! If it is broke off in there be real careful you dont slice yourself reaching around in there. If its still good take it home rinse it off, throw some new blades on it and stick another one!!!!

Yeah. Make sure you account for the broadhead to avoid getting cut. There is a decent chance the arrow will still be usable - especially if you get a clean pass thru.
