yes caught his shoulder blade. He's lucky so far, lolJakeB wrote:Just trying to figure out why that shot didn't kill that deer? It looks high but a hard down angle should have put the broadhead into atleast 1 lung? Unless it stuck the backbone and didn't penetrate enough to spine him? Or you caught the shoulder blade? But it doesn't seem like you did.
Edit: Looking back at it, looks like you likely did catch the shoulder?

Was he holding till march 23rd or is the whole date wrong in that photo?
Those low wide bucks are deceptive, usually go lower in score than first guess. Just like the tall tight bucks go higher than a person thinks.
i shot to far forward, the way it happened it was hard down angle shot. 6 inches back and he would have been toast. Dates wrong.
Gotcha. Didn't realize the steep down angle. Yea those big expandables and shoulder blades do not mix. Wonder how many thousands of deer that happens to every year across the US. Good luck after him this fall!

Re: Ghost is still alive!
Happy to hear he made it. Put the smack down on him this year! That would make for one heck of a redemption story for everyone to read!

What a STUD!
Just curious on your history with him...How old do you put him at, and when he jump to that size on antlers?
