2 great seasons >----> 1 lucky arrow
« on: January 22, 2016, 01:11:00 PM »
This is a picture of my luckiest arrow. Gold tip 35/55. 4 4inch yellow feathers, a 100gr brass insert and 125gr Woodsman. I marked each kill with a black ring.
 
I shot this mule deer in Sept 2014.  I got a pass through and I found the arrow 3 weeks later.  Yellow feathers in an Aspen grove.
 
3 weeks later I shot this White tail.
 
A few days later I got another White tail.
 
Now we move forward to the 2015 season and I still have the same arrow/woodsman.
I shot a coyote with the arrow,  sorry no picture because 10 minutes later I shot a deer. Having a downed deer trumped photos of a 'yote.
So I shot this deer with an other arrow. The two arrows were in the ground only 10 inch apart!
 
Well I cleaned up the lucky arrow from the 'yote and 3 days later got another deer.  This one broke the arrow.
 
Yes it was a very good 13 months.  mule deer, white tail, white tail, coyote, white tail and white tail.

Ha, you posted it 3 times!!!!  Photobucket gets me all screwed up too.  

That's great though - sad to see that arrow find it's end.  It definitely earned retirement though.

Wow, that's pretty wild to kill that many big game animal with one arrow. Do you have any plans to some how display that arrow?

I am not that lucky!  3 deer, 3 broken arrows.  Pretty neat to get a 5 for 1!

Cool Story! I like the idea of the black rings around the shaft for each kill.

Way to go Mr. Ashton. I don't think I have ever re-used an arrow for that many kills. Maybe 3
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
