Indeed. It is the first time I have ever shot a deer with an arrow and never had it take a single step. He squirmed around for about 3 seconds and never moved again.
Last 2 I shot before it with same bow/arrows, 1 went about 30 yards, other went about 75.
The arrow(bolt) shaft was broken off and filled with blood. Broadhead lodged in off side shoulder. Nothing left of the lungs.
Next buck I shoot will need to have at least 4 points on one side. Which shouldn't be a problem. Have seen some HOGS last 2 days.
2muchgun, nice buck and good hunt no doubt with the crossbow.
I love bowhunting, but don't do it as much nowadays as in years past. I used to live to bow hunt. My aging muscles and aching joints are keeping me from using a compound now, but the crossbow keeps me in the game.
Hopefully in the next 4 days, I'll have some fresh venison. Seen a "shooter" buck last Saturday evening, but he vanished in the swamp. He was all of 150", 10pt.
