OFFICIAL 2016/17 East Texas Hunting Thread

[Greenheadless]

Sitting parked in my Honda Pioneer on our pipeline. Small spike was galloping from the upwind side to me grunting the whole way. You could tell he was on the trail of a hot doe seeing he is scent checking all the trails on each side as he goes. Runs up to about 20 yards from me and looks up. Needless to say, he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings

I just sent one on a double lung shuffle. Deflation has occurred

Shot at 605 less than stellar penetration. But thought I heard a crash about 50 yards. Backed out for 2 hours and came back.

So the doe is on ice. Lumenock led me to first blood and the 4 blade muzzy was mia. End if the FMJ was tore and it appeared the head broke off inside the arrow shaft. I hit her her front of the shoulder clipping the heart and artery. Head arrow stopped just short of coming thru skin on the off side. As of now I haven't found the muzzy....

Good Ol Doe! I'm confused though, no pass through but lost head? As in it pulls back out there he entrance?

Just got back to my phone, It was a smoothie but after a two hour track job we jumped her and backed out. Only to realize we had no idea where we were. If anyone is wondering it is super easy to get turned around in a never ending pine thicket with no cell phone and a Google maps app. Everything seemed perfect and I let it sail at 20yards, broad side and front leg forward, blood was everywhere but my rage let me down. We tracked for over 600 yards. I dont know what went wrong. Never even found my arrow and Im 99% sure I had a clean pass through. Oh well it happens, guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Another beautiful morning in the Pines. I dropped my son off this morning at the bow lease. I'm still sitting down here in my truck enjoying a little peace n quit and drinking coffee...nice fog laying low at our place. Good luck to y'all! Strongest front of the season coming down mid next week!

There's no deer out here in East Texas. Only vampires.

You and me both.

There was about 6 or 7 inches of blood on the arrow. After we got her peeled the off side shoulder had lots of hemorrhaging. Cut both shoulders off and I could stick my finger thru the entrance and out the other shoulder. But the arrow didn't come thru the skin on opposite side.

She fell hard in the front right after the shot and apparently snapped the head at the threads. I dug all over looking for the head and never found it in her. It's either still buried in a shoulder on ice (which I doubt) or it floated back into her chest cavity and got wrapped in the guts. I just can't see it coming all the way out the entrance hole.
