Title: Woodsman saved my behind
Post by: mtnbike on October 31, 2009, 12:20:00 AM
Dumped a doe tonite. Didn't take my time with the shot, had all the time in the world. She was quartered hit her in the last rib and exited about four inches behind the off side leg. Figured a solid liver shot and gave her some time.Got down to see the carnage and there was none. Some snow on the ground helped with the track job. A spot of blood at 25 yrds and then some at about 50, then none. Realization set in that I had a shot into the salad. Stood and pondered the next move and turned around to see the doe not far away, dead? Apon the autopsy, entering the cavity I had a fountain of blood pouring out of the hole. sorted thru the mess and could not find any holes in the liver or offside lung. Mystery? The Woodsman did the job! Thanks to a good BH

WW is all Ive used the past couple of years, I dont think Ive ever been happier with a broad head. Tunes like a FP,penetrates like a two-blade, sharpens easy, and has caused massive bleeding on the deer Ive killed with it.

I agree, good head. I have had a few not so good hits in the past, and I'm glad I wasn't shooting a two blade. That extra blade sure helps!
