Great Idea, I just wish people would take pictures of Bad blood trails so we would have more of a comparison.
Could definitely be a useful tool.
-
I'm hoping I get a mixture for comarison.
-
Also, something I just thought of, it doesn't worry me too much if I don't get pictures of poor blood trails.
What makes you want to take a picture? Something that is usually incredible or awesome. So if I only get pictures of really good blood trails, that might speak volumes about the broadhead types that are creating these blood trails.
-
Here's a poor one. ;)

Great thread! I don't take many photos of blood trails. Might have to change that. All this blood on the ground is really making me want to go shoot something. I still have an unfilled turkey tag and one more weekend to give it a go!
-
Shot a black bear with this arrow. I heard the death moan then a minute later another death moan. Heard it a total of 5 different times. So now I am thinking what the heck is going on.
Shot looked good the blood trail got heavier each yard I followed. Met up with the more experienced bear hunters and he said lets wait until morning. Bear ended up only going about 70 yards.
When I got it back to camp and started skinning it found out I had hit 3 or 4 inches above the front knee and cut a artery in the leg. I never even entered the chest cavity. The long hair was deceiving as to where the body started.

I had the exact same thing happen once with a small whitetail buck. Cut the artery in the upper leg close to the body, and he went down within 75 yards.
I saw where the arrow hit, but the leg didn't appear to be broken. I stayed where I was for an hour, mentally kicking myself for making such a lousy shot, and hoping the wound would heal alright before checking on the outcome.
There were a few drops of blood where he landed after his first jump, but when I looked down the hill, there was blood all over the place, and I realized what had happened.
I was one happy hunter when I found him dead, just inside some golden rod.
I don't know what happened when I shot, but I'm sure it was my fault. I HATE wounding animals, and do everything I can to prevent it. I won't take an iffy shot, but even then things can go wrong.
I'm glad you got your bear. :thumbsup:
Not that it means anything, but I shoot woodsman's too.

Last blood, never found another drop, or the turkey, even going back with my shorthair.

Thanks for posting that Maineac. No judgement about a non-recovery on this thread. Your information is helpful and the entire point of why I put up this thread in the first place!
Good hunting,

This was dropped by a 250# hog. 47# long bow with a 175 grain ABS Silver Flame. One hole and he went about 40 yards and was down. (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/IMAG0413.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/2crazyboys_photos/media/IMAG0413.jpg.html)

This is her at the end. (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN2564.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/2crazyboys_photos/media/DSCN2564.jpg.html)

WOW Izzy! All that blood with only one hole!

Here's a blood trail from a doe I shot in Northern MI - Shot with a Silvertip recurve at about 25 yards - Grizzlystik with a Bear Razorhead with bleeder blade.
Heart hit - doe went less than 40 yards. Best and shortest bloodtrail I've ever had.

Lots to be said for the old razorhead with bleeders. A buddy of mine shot a buck at our place this past season pulling 70#s. Entrance wound looked like it had been shot with a rifle!

This is a great thread, I wish I had something to contribute to it.
I guess I'd better start taking pictures of blood trails. Never even thought of it in the past. Thanks.

Rolltide what was the poundage of your now?

Homey, all the bows that I get made are marked 53@26. The true poundage varies from 52-55lbs when I pull them on my scales. That bow is 54@26
