As they lay

Why is there blood clear up to the fletching?

Closest I can figure is the fletching and nock were still somewhere in the skull when the arrow broke, then started backing out as he went on his death run. In the picture the broken end of the arrow is against his neck, but the actual point of entry is the big gash just to the right. I found the broadhead with about 8” of arrow about half way through the liver.

DaySix 300 spine arrows @ 29”, 150 grain stainless half out with collar, 125 gr. DaySix Evo-X broadhead.

First archery deer just after I tagged him. Hit just where I was aiming, but he jumped the string just enough to get his head in the way. Long story short… heavy arrow + quality broadhead = meat in the freezer.

What kind of madness is this? A wood stock and blued steel?! Serously awesome picture!

Nice bull.
And there's a rifle I haven't seen in ages.
Is that one chambered in the .350 Remington Magnum?
Four-power Weaver scope?
