As they lay

The arrow in the head wasn't what did the damage though, the broadhead took out his jugular, a lung, a pulmonary vein, diaphram, and I found the broadhead (the arrow broke) back in his liver.

So even with his head in the way, got plenty of penetration.

Impressive. What was your setup?

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.

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.

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?
