Broadhead in deer's jaw
My friend shot this buck and found a broadhead in its jaw.
This is the deer the broadhead was in.
Re: Broadhead in deer's jaw
Yeah, I want my broadhead back, j/k. I have heard of that happening before the same way.

Crazy! My dad shot a buck one year and when they were skinning it out it had a broadhead wedged in the deers spine. He said that the deer was walking and acting normal before he shot it. They are some pretty tough animals IMO.

Ouch, that's crazy. Are the horns goofy, this years broadhead?

It's amazing the deer didn't die from a infection.

Gang,
Last season I took a nice 6 x 6 bull in Montana. While butchering the next day I noticed (felt)
a knot or large lump about the size of a golf ball squarely on the point of the left shoulder bone. I cut it out and at first glance it appeared to be similar to a ball of gristle. Curious, I worked it down one small piece at a time and, VOILA, a three bladed broadhead. I have no idea how long that big bull had been packing this hardware, but it had been long enough that it had been completely covered in scar tissue, gristle, etc. This bull was in pristine condition, no limp at all.
I cant help but imagine how long that arrowslinger looked for that bull after making what I am sure he thought was a "great shot".
Four inches back and it would have been great.
GOOD HUNTING,
Spike
