Title: Deadhead+KME=Fresh Backstraps!
Post by: Robhood23 on October 17, 2010, 10:44:00 PM
I have always wanted to hunt with Pearson Deadheads but could never get them sharp enough to comfortably hunt with them. Then came along a KME broadhead sharpener that a good friend let me borrow. They sharpened up like a dream and I was shavin hair off my arm in no time. Something I have always struggled with. I'll let the pics tell the rest of the story!

Point of impact!This is a pic of the standing corn she was standing next to!

I decided to go and get my 8 year old son Tanner to help with the blood trail! I never realized that he had never had the chance to blood trail during the day before! He was really excited!

Thanks guys! Had a great morning that morning. Right off the bat I had a nice little 8 come strolling by at about 8 yards, then about 10 minutes later another little 8 came down the same trail followed by a doe and 2 fawns. About 1/2 later I had another doe and 1 fawn come in behind me and I watched them for about 10 minutes. I wasn't planning on shooting a doe but then when the 3rd one came with a button buck fawn I decided to take her!I kind of wanted a few doe's around for the rut which should kick in next week up here.  All deer passed within 8-10 yards from me. I was shooting a 57@29" Centaur.

I wish one of the broadhead manufacturers would start making/producing the deadhead broadhead again. (hint,hint Magnus, Zwicky, ABS, etc..)

a two blade doesn't leave good blood trails. At least that's what a little birdie told me.   :biglaugh:    :laughing:    :deadhorse:  

Congratulations!
