Seasons only 2 weeks old and I have a freezer full of venison and only 1 Buck tag left, but we can kill unlimited Does, 2 a day here. What a season so far, trully my best ever! Thank You Excalibur, don't think I would have gotten any of these 3 deer with a compound.
Not to pleased with the Spitfire XP's though. The did fine on the Doe, I shot her right behind the shoulder at 25 yards but she was quartering towards me. It missed the Lungs but hit the Liver and came out her belly through the stomach. Some of her stomach and instestines were hanging out of her when I found her. Took an hour or more to find her because of only a few drops of blood on the ground even though she only went about 75 yards, its very thick cover there.
The buck was only about 5 yards from the tree I was in. I shot him in the chest right behind the shoulder but the broadhead hit his sterum and broke the small blade off the front and the broadhead was resting right inside of the hide when I dressed him. The arrow only went in half way and he broke it in two when he ran. He went about 75 yards also but I found no blood at all on the ground. Lucky to find him in the dark in about 15 minutes since it was so thick of cover there, he ran straight ahead and I found him dead beside a downed tree. I believe if it had been a fixed blade it would have gone all the way through him and left a blood trail to follow, his one lung did have a nice big Spitfire shaped slice in it though! Next year I'm definietly going to try some Slicktricks to see how they fly. Good Luck everyone.
