It was a Zwickey Delta 2 blade, 75 grain steel broadhead adapter on a Goldtip Traditional shaft. I firmly believe that between the time of release until impact, the buck contorted to a less lethal angle.

Anyone mind explaining deadheads? In Florida deadheads are partially or fully submerged logs leftover from rafting logs down the rivers to a mill. You can get a permit to recover them, I hear they make good money.

Deadheads are dead deer found in the woods mainly. The state of Iowa can be extremely touchy if you dont call the DNR officer. If you want to get it mounted, the DNR officer will have to you a salvage tag.

That is why I love my blood trailing dog. He has found a couple that would have been coyote poop.

Been there, done that.  The feeling is bitter sweet, but you have closure knowing the animal was found.  Very nice deer by the way!

I finally refinished the 10 pointer that I lost in the 2016 season. I'm in still disbelief that nothing has chewed on the rack. I mounted him on a wall pedestal mount made of black walnut arrowhead  design.
