Where did u find your broadhead?

[JamesV]

Funny experience with a broadhead. I shot a big doe in the neck with a snuffer and it didn't penetrate but a couple of inches. It put the deer down instantly, I unscrewed the arrow and could still see the threads on the adapter. My mother always wanted the neck that she would cook as a roast. I asked her to save my broadhead as it was buried in the neck bone. A few weeks later I was visiting and she said I saved your arrow head but I don't know why you wanted it because it is all bent up and broke. Your dad had to use a hammer and chisel to get it out of that bone.

I shot a buck last year taht I did not make such a great shot on. The deer went about 300yds. I found the arrow, still whole, at about 275yds. The broadhead had come unscrewed off the arrow. Never did find that one!

I shot a buck this year, and watched him fall over dead at about 50yds. He broke the arrow into 3 pieces. The fletching end was about 10yds from the shot. The middle piece was still inside him when I gutted him. The front 10" and broadhead were nowhere to be found? I looked over and over. I finally found it buried up in a clump of brush about 15yds from where I shot him.

I think you need a heavier arrow Charlie. Not much penetration on that sapling.

A few years ago I shot a large doe from a ground blind and she ran away with the arrow. I found her over 100 yards away but no arrow. I had to find it since it was in my field and I didn't want a bh lying around to get run over with the tractor or a grandkid picking it up. I eventually found it a couple of days later.

On a miss in the dark on a Sika doe I found the arrow buried in a root. I had to unscrew the Wensel Woodsman and leave it.

I once shot a sow. I was in a stand and there were a group of pigs under a water oak feeding. I shot the sow and watched her run and heard my aluminum arrow clanking in trees going the other way. I looked and my arrow passed through the sow and hit another in the neck and he was flopping like a fish. the arrow broke in all the flopping. I was able to drag the pigs to the nearby road. the swamp was flooded and I was hunting up on a hill. In the excitement while skinning my two pigs with one shot I forgot to get the broadhead out of the neck of the pig. It had broken off at the insert of the arrow. Maybe a coyote did`nt cut his lip on the carcass later on.RC

I think Doug Campbell has the best story of all maybe we can get him to post

I shot at a doe and the arrow went over its back and thru the brush.  I looked but didn't find it.  I went back a few weeks later and found it.  It was stuck in the inside of a old tractor tire that some one had dumped years ago.

Back in the 90s Steve Hohensee and I made a trip to POW in AK after black bear. I shot a bear on the last evening which took us on a big circle thru the bush. My arrow broke off just back of the head and we only recovered the shaft. A couple years later Steve and another buddy went back and the buddy shot a bear in the same area. While trailing his bear Steve found my broadhead laying right on the blood trail out in the middle of the brush. I can't imagine the percentages of that happening more than once...
