Interesting Hunting Story
Wisconsin
So a friend of mine and his kid hunt up north in the nicolet national forest. 2 years ago his kid hit a buck they tracked but never found. Last weekend my buddy shot a 10pt buck from the same stand, while butchering him this week they found his kids broadhead healed over in the shoulder! How crazy is that!?
Years back my brother in law killed a buck and found a snuffer 3 blade solid broadhead embeded in a lower neck vertabae with the bone healed and fused right thru the vents...unreal he survived that hit without spinal cord trauma.

That's pretty cool!
Several years ago I was peeling the backstrap out of a buck I killed when I hit something hard with my knife. There was about 8 inches of Aluminum arrow and a Rocky Mountain broadhead laying along the top of the ribs parallel wih the spine between the backstrap and the ribs. It was totally healed with just a little tiny bit of pus around the steel tip of the broadhead.
I'm sure the buck had a stiff back because the arrow acted as a splint along his spine and didn't allow the vertebrae and discs to flex.
Tri-County - a very cool story. What's the odds of that happening. Nicolet, 2 years later, same stand, family and friends. Yes!
I've killed one deer with a broad head in it. Also a scapula shot that didn't make it through.
Give it to the kid. First blood … ok just kidding.
Venison processors see this every year. One guy I visited in the past had a big collection of broadheads found while cutting deer for customers. If not in the vitals, many make it. Tough critters.
I killed this buck last year when I saw he had an arrow planted in his neck. I had all I could do to get a shot on him and luckily I did well.
We talked to neighbors and found that a lady hit the buck on October 2. She said she hit it "a little high." I killed him on October 27. His stomach and bowels were full. I had to cut the arrow out of his neck. The ground meat was fine but the steaks were like chewing on leather. They were converted to ground too.
My buddy hit a bull in az with a huge droptine and a softball end the next year i killed him in the same canyon same droptine, dug his bh out
Tricounty- great story and good ending. This buck had a broadhead sticking through his right shoulder blade and it fell out while I was butchering him. Funny thing, my Thunderhead blew through the lower portion of the left shoulder blade and cut a main artery to the heart. when I harvested him in 011
Nice picture 10, for a second I thought you meant to post this on the live hunt thread! Good luck
I learned to deer hunt when I was 29 from a guy named Gary. Back in the day we walked over 50 minutes in Bayfield Co, to get to a hot spot, with big big buck sign.
Opening day of rifle season. Gary sees a small spike at 10am. It comes thru with one leg shot off, and hanging, and its in bad shape.
Gary puts a 270 thru it, and puts his one and only tag on it........
Gary said, that is what you should do, its called RESPECT...... sure I would like to have shot a nice buck, but that is the right thing to do......
Another positive lesson I carried with me, RESPECT....
In a lot of ways, something that seems loss today....
