My most unique kill ever

[Littlefeather]

Thanks Gang! Here's a couple of follow up pics that BoBo wanted me to post. BoBo pig is such a ham! He loves the spotlight and since he did such a fine job trailing the doe this morning I told him I'd reward him by putting his picture up for all to see. HeeeHeeee! BoBo the blood trailing pig!

WOW, a bow a doe and closure to a most unfortunate event. Sometimes things do go wrong in our outdoor adventures but we do at the very least place an endless effort to do it right. Nature itself is sometimes cruel and we try to do our part to make it at least better. Curtis, thumbs up to you for recognizing the deer was struggling and the decision to releive her pain.

Simply amazing story. Beautiful bow and arrow set up. I'm glad you finally know the outcome of last years encounter.

Ok, How was the broadhead and the wad connected?
 Is it sticking out inside her mouth and making the food pile up? Lets see a pic inside the mouth. Has to be a connection. Females don't normally chew. If it was a buck I would understand.
Glad you finished that hunt from years before even though it took a while. Good ending.

[Ted Fry]

Awesome CK , one of those things that points out that there is a plan rather than random events. Figure out the odds on this one happening. Great story. Glad you found the broadhead the easy way.

I cant see any pics has anybody else haveing this problem

[Stone Knife]

Curtis that is quite the story you have there with photographic proof no less. A friend of mine shot a buck once and decided to do a skull mount. After he was done boiling and cleaning out the skull he noticed something strange. There was an old bear broad head logged in it's sinus right by the eye. He said the deer acted normal, they sure are tough.

[Tim Kosteczko]

wow, great story, congrats

[Littlefeather]

Thanks again for the comments. Ironic that you should mention a broadhead through the sinus's. You won't believe this.

I spent the day boiling and scraping the doe's skull. Here it is getting close to done.

 

Another shot from behind showing the broken shaft and angle of travel. The broadhead is actually in the center of the sinus cavity. Unbelieveable!!

 

Here is a straight picture into the sinus cavity. There is the end of the Arrow Dynamic carbon arrow and my 190 gr. Grizzly painted white on one side. The white side is down.

 

Again, unbelieveable!

Very strange. Congrats on finishing what you started last season.

CK, I'm glad you got her.  Quite a story my friend.  Thanks...Doc

[Doug S]

Very interesting and good pics. Thanks.
I wonder if she had nerve damage and couldn't feel all that food in the side of her mouth.??
What do you think the food connection was caused by if any?

CK,

Trophies come in all sizes and shapes.  Great story as it all came full circle.

Some say a coinsidence is a mirical where God chooses to remain anonymous.

Good stuff all around there Curtis. Gotta love it when things work out.

And I have to agree with Mickey, that first photo is one of the finest bow hunter pics I've seen.

[Eric Krewson]

Two peoples pics never come up for me, Littlefeather's and Charlie Lamb's. All the others come up just fine.

[Seeking Trad Deer]

Wow...that is an awesome tale and surely belongs in a magazine for others to read.  You have a great way of sharing your experiences with us Curtis.  Thank you!
