Bill, I am using the 150 grain VPA's with a 50 grain brass insert. It slipped through her from the back rib and came out her arm pit on the other side and stuck in the ground. I really like them, they are super easy to sharpen for the sharpening impaired like myself. They are tough as a broadhead can be and they are very well made. I had some concern that they weren't more of a 3/1 ratio as their heavier versions, but after shooting through this deer that fear is no more. A complete pass through and it stuck deep into the ground. Here is the head. I'll sharpen it and it'll be ready to go.

Never heard a doe called the, " Freak Nasty ", but that is what we will name her Tom ! I am with you as far as hunting and shooting..... The real hunt starts the day you scout a new spot and find, "the tree". After that it is the, "shooting" part of it. My favorite is the hunt, just got to get better at finding, "the tree". I am close but no cigar. Usually I am off by 20-30yds seems like, just cannot get them to follow the script most days. Thanks for sharing about the locust trees and bean pods. Do Black locusts have bean pods too and if so will the deer eat both Black and Honey locust pods Tom ? We have NO mast this year and I know where a locust thicket is that is surrounded by honesuckles too. We even named this thicket, " The Graveyard", last year when we found about 20 dead deer there. Guess it was blue tongue disease.

Sure hope you find that buck's sheds in the Spring and assign him the proper spread and score him for us ! Great pics and story as always, thanks for sharing bud !

Izzy, we don't have any kutzu around here thank goodness. Not sure what that stuff is. It was low growing with no vines and doesn't climb like kutzu does.
