Charlie, it's a VPA 200 grain 3 blade, got the third blade straight down.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Best of luck Kenny.

I haven’t even been in a stand yet. Too dang hot and the mosquitoes are too thick.

Love the VPAs. One tuff broadhead. I’m using the 1-1/4” 250gr three blades. The lightest I could get with the bigger cut and long profile.

Well I’d like to skip this part of this story but it is part of it . I hung a portable yesterday at 2:00 , wind was right so I sat it last nite .
Two ways the deer should come from , they showed up at the best place but seemed to be going to bypass me by a few yards.

Then a big doe showed up from the other way and was gonna pass behind me, got turned and when she made the last shooting lane I shot. Arrow looked good but when it got below her back line I couldn’t see it . She bolted and ran a big half circle . Arrow wasn’t far and had bright red blood, no gut smell . Just smelled like deer meat. Very little blood, a few drops then specks then nothing.

I hang my head, I’ve shot a lot all year and am probably shooting better than ever.

Got no explanation to what happened at all but don’t think she is hurt much .

Went back with my dog this morn and found nothing else .

Damn it !
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Just found this! Wouldn’t shock me if you get another crack at her Kenny.

Hate that for you Kenny, but it’s happened to all of us that hunt very much at one time or another! It just sucks real bad when it happens to you!

Better luck on the next one.

Thanks Kenny.  Been too warm in Pure Michigan to hunt effectively, so I'm getting my fix through your continuing story.  Your recent bloody arrow episode has inspired me to practice my form even more than usual.  Hopefully I'll have a full, unruly beard by the end of your 'Lamb-like' saga . . .

Warm last nite but went anyway. Had 2 does with a buck following. Never got to see the buck as it got dark before he made it...

This morning, I had a deer blow at me in the dark, then I think followed me to the stand and blew just to be sure I heard correctly.

Saw a few does and fawns and one medium buck on other side of creek following some does...
Stay sharp, Kenny.
