Thanks guys. That was a special hunt and deer. Arrow broke in the center so I glued it back together and thought it looked good there. If it didn't break I would've reused it.

I always set the kill arrows aside, hang them on the wall, or just have them laying around .....I never use them again.

I left a 5575 Goldtip with a screw-in 250gn 1 1/4" VPA 3 blade Terminator hanging on the wall of Homer Ocean Charters office... A bit of $$ to leave behind, but it is kind of the"Custom" up there following a successful hunt... I hope to see it again in the future    :pray:

On several past deer leases if an arrow was not repairable we had a Dead Arrow Tree.  We would shoot the arrow into a tree about 10 or so feet high.  After several years there is normally quite a collection up there.

I only display bent and broken kill arrows and just put them up in the racks in the basement. The arrows don't neccessarily belong to the rack displayed either.

I just put them in a bucket in the corner of the man cave.  I don't display them as I don't think they mean anything special to anyone else.  Once in a while I go over and rummage through them, recollecting memories, and remembering old lies.  I reserve this small bit of my life for me alone.

Not having to deal with this particular conundrum, it is, nonetheless, of interest to me. I am coming up with ways to display my collection of unfilled game tags, should I ever find it important to do so. Right now, they are hanging from a hook in the gun room.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
