WNY Bowhunter Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I was butchering my buck yesterday and made a unique discovery...a G5 Montec imbedded in the middle of his shoulder bone from last season!!! While not totally uncommon, it's a first for me. What is unbelievable is that the tip of the broadhead was coming out of the scapula...not into it (point was sticking out just inside the hide). I'm not certain where it entered on the opposite side (was a bloody mess) but it seems as though it had to go through the body cavity to get to where it was coming out and it should have been a dead deer due to the fact that the head almost was a pass through? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockspek Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I will be looking out for that when processing my own. Thanks for sharing. Glad you didn't get cut. So, Will you sharpen it and re use it just because of it's history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY Bowhunter Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's still razor sharp and in perfect condition. Not sure if it will unscrew from the insert of the broken arrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Is there any way that could have missed lungs? That's amazing and I'm glad you didn't cut yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I shot a buck during ML season in 2006 . When I walked up to it , I thought it looked strange . It had an broken arrow shaft just below it's eye and I could see damage to his neck . The broadhead had a clip on it and I asked on a site what it was . It was a clip for a "string tracker" . I shot the buck 12-9-2006 . You never know what you will find in a deer so be careful . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Nothing short of incredible. If it came from the opposite side of the body, how did it miss the lungs? Maybe a deflection off rib or shoulder bone. Bet he had a limp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him all summer and never noticed a limp. Looks fine here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 That's pretty amazing... I'm glad that I saw this because I stopped using those heads years ago. Darn it... I have the same broadheads.

PREDATE Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The broadhead performed fine...shot placement was off by a little. Very true. I actually like these heads because they seem more substantial than the muzzys that I've always used. The muzzys have always done great for me, but the blades get trashed quite easily.

MrGroundhog Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I thought the cut was small on them, got poor blood trails on good hits, and they whistled like crazy in flight lol. In that pic how did it miss any of the vitals? It looked like it should have went right through the lungs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I will never stop being amazed at how tough these animals really are! Any tougher and they'd be hunting us! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
