Nick , my youngest son , shot an 8 point last year with a 850 grain arrow at 10 yards . He wasn't used to shooting that close and was shaking and hit the buck high in the back . The deer dropped , kicked a couple times and expired .
If I had hit the deer in the same spot with my 430 grain arrow , it probably would have just wounded it .
I was only 4 miles away when Nick called so I stopped by and took pics . I pulled the arrow out and the blade stayed . It was wedged in the backbone .
