Looks like this deer survived a rage to the cage? Sure looks like it did!
I guess i'll have to put a hammerhead thru her! I have my AM and PM off by 12hrs.

By all accounts that should have been a dead deer!

must just be a scare from something else . if the hole was up higher and only took out one lung maybe but i dont thing there is anyway a deer could live if that was a rage in that location

How are you certain that mark was caused by a broadhead (Rage)??

Just a guess from the mark.

Maybe, but this one didn't survive an FOC.

Holy shlamoly! That must have been from a high stand or you loaded your bow with a machete! That is insane.

Ouch!!! But then again that deer didn't live long..Wow..

Actually, this is one of my patient's kills, about 3 miles from my house. M380, Zombies, FOCs, Zeiss Terra2-7/optimizer. 45 yards. My guess: think he hit in the shoulder and the BH glanced off. He never found the arrow. I've killed appx 12-13 deer with FOCs, no losses but never a gash like that!
That's his only hit/kill with an FOC. He plans on using FOCs this year also.

Looks like there is a scar lower down as well. My uneducated guess is that it is not a broadhead wound

X-2 on that not a broad head wound....

She is wearing an aiming point if broadside, what ever it's from.

NAP FOC. There is no substitute!!!

It was ultimately that pic that SEW posted a few months back that swayed me to try the foc. I look forward to trying them out.
