Came to a grunt call at 7:30am.
Thanks to all who recommended the grim reaper broadheads, he went 20 yards and dropped like a stone.
He's no trophy, but the whole point this year was meat in the freezer and he was the deer that showed up.
There was a lot of adversity involved in even getting out there this year, and thanks to the good Lord, I got one.


First ever bow (xbow) deer and the bow performed flawlessly.

Good deal man. Be some great eating

Awesome Congdon the knothead.

Congrats ...

Congrats

Hey Sly, curious what type of shape your broadhead was in, Ive had good luck with reusing those Reapers...

Seemed ok but only 1 blade deployed. I will wash it up tomorrow for a better look

Nice .

Well done!!

Did you check the inside of the rib cage? Broadheads often times deply correctly and close back up after exiting the other side. You think they didnt deploy at all until you see the blade marks on the ribcage. Disappointing if they really didnt deploy. By the way, good job at putting meat in the freezer...

Your theory is probably correct midlander as the heart was sliced wide open and the lungs were scrambled up.
He was quartering to so the bolt travelled from his left front shoulder and exited at the back of his rib cage on the other side. About 8" of the bolt passed completely through and the exit was huge... I had wondered if a single blade could have done that much damage

Meat for the pot-thats what its all about.

Blew a whole thru that one.
Congratulations
