Not to open up a can of worms but...what the heck.  Tom was shooting a three blade wensel head and I know Tom gets em wicked sharp when he is done with them.  My point is that it was able to do a ton of damage as she was on her death run. I've sat on both sides of the two blade/three blade debate and I have to say this is a classic example of a situation where a three blade is definitely preferable.  The massage hemorraging that occurred is certainly a large factor in why she went down so quickly.

Congrats again Tom it was a feeling of pure joy to see that deer and help you find it.  We went from a bad low to a really big high.

Congrats on a fine kill. My first trad kill some years back was a doe hit just fwd of the ham and under the spine. She went down in 20 yards, massive bleeding. I have alsohit a small hog there. Hunting in near dark swamp and palmettos, I couldn't tell the front from the back so shot for the crease...got the wrong end. That hog died as quick as any I've killed. Gotta' love those Wensel Woodsman heads !
