Grizzly single bevel shoulder blade hole

[Nook]

I took a small deer last October with a right bevel Grizzly broadhead (175 gr).  Here's a picture of the hole it made through the shoulder blade.  I did not get total pass through.  The broadhead sliced through a rib on the way out.  I had arrow sticking out on both sides until the deer hit a barbed wire fence. It was a 80 yard recovery.

 

Interesting keepsake.

Looks like a shotgun slug hole!  That is crazy!!

ALL I use is Grizzly's! Great head and tough as nails. All of my animals fell to them

How was the blood trail. I know if he hit a fence 80 yards away probably saw him fall? Just interested in blood on the ground. If he had ran 80 yards through some some really thick (crawl on your knees tunnel) briars and stuff, would you have found him easily? Just wondering cause Ive killed a bunch of stuff with narrow single bevel  and never had a real good blood trail.

Nook, how about bow weight at your draw and arrow weight?

I have been impressed as heck with the single bevels.

Impressive!  I would not be disappointed in the lack of 'total' pass through.  the amount of resistance/wedging/shear created by an arrow passing through the shoulder blade and then near side rib cage on a deer that is reacting by moving those shoulders would remarkable.
My buck this year dropped at the sound of the shot and I got penetration through both shoulder blades with my Grizzly and also a broken arrow and 45 yard recovery. With plenty of blood on the ground....

Wow Jeff......Looks like a hole Amy's Thompson Center would leave!

Steve O - I took this deer with a Blacktail Elite VL [email protected], 62"  530 gr total wt carbon express heritage and broadhead. Chronos around 184.

Don - The deer hit the fence at 10 yards fell 70 later.  Little to no blood after it got in the field.  Found it in a cow pasture.  Didn't see it fall.  Glad I found it before Danny "Two Hats" tripped and fell over it.
In defence of the blood trail.  I was in a moist morning field.  I've always had trouble tracking in tall grass.  I need to do more testing

I have shot 2 deer with a shot like that with broadhead thru both shoulders. One was a Magnus II and the other was a 160 Ace with a 53 # Mohawk longbow and wood arrows. The first one went 25 yards and the second was a 115 # doe down in 45 yards.

Wow, that is a broadhead that is getting it done.

Hmm, I was on that hunt.  

After Two Hats skinned and processed his deer, you asked to borrow a 1/2" drill bit and a hacksaw blade.
Now this photo

my son put a ww thru the off side shoulder of a raghorn bull that left a hole just as big...the differance was it left a nice blood trail.
