    Default Is it a kill shot?

    Shot a big buck tonight, at 20-25 yards quartering away a little. Shot him, heard a crunch as the Rage hit him. He ran away with the arrow still stuck in him. The arrow wasnt very far in him though. thought i saw him stumbling as he ran away back through the forest. Looked around for blood, NOTHING! didn't look too hard though. We heard him in the corn feild take a few leaps then stop. Gonna go out in the morning and look. I think hes a 6x5 or 5x4 and real tall. Not real wide though.

    Do deer shot through the shoulder blade usually mean a kill shot? Im shooting about 65# Maxima hunter arrows with a Rage head.

    a fixed broadhead will tear more than a mechanical broad head while stuck in the deer

    Have you ever seen a lion limber up before taking down a gazelle?

    Lost a doe last year with almost the exact same arrow. 68 lbs, Maxima with a 2 blade Rage.

    Good luck, hope you find/found him.

    A deer shot in the shoulder blade, that is quartering away, is hit way forward. With the angle, and the size ofthe rage, you might not have made itthrough the shoulder, depending on how steep the angle was.
