Congrats!

Why were you lucky? Was the shot a little too far back?

Glad it all worked out.

She came in about 6:40 tonight, her, another good size doe, and 4 smaller deer. My shot was a little far back and high....luckily the 200 grain Ace heads I am using (they are huge) cut the artery that runs along her back....the blood trail was not necesary. She walked 20 yards, and stood there for a few minutes. The other deer just milled around watching her. I could see her, but frankly, I wasn't sure which deer was her and which were her herd-mates. I didn't have a shot anyway, so I just quietly waited. Eventually she just toppled over. What could have been a long ugly trailing job was short and easy...like I said, I got lucky.

Excellent!

It's so cool to be able to see them when they go down from a lethal hit while using a trad bow. Although I don't mind the suspense of following a nice heavy blood trail either.   :thumbsup:

Congratulations buddy.  Ya never know what's going to happen, so having that extra size for whitetail broadheads is not a bad way to go.  Other than my vintage 1971 Bear Super K whitetail rig that has 4 blade Bear Razorheads on Microflite fiberglass arrows, it's a Kustom King Trailmaker 3 blade head on my arrows now.

Glad to see that Lil Favorite is still making meat.     :thumbsup:

Made the shot - kept your composure and studied the deer - had the foresight to prep properly and use a big broadhead and get it SHARP - Dude this clearly a case of good woodsmanship. Blessed for the day - yes. All good. Great job - nice deer too.
