Got my first buck last night before rifle opened ! Had him broadside at 30. Let er fly. Once arrow hits it it looked like it was in the vitals and felt like a good shot. But after it hits it just falls straight down where he’s standing. he runs off with leg tucked into the brush about 50 yards away.
495 grain with 150gr iron will. 29” draw shade under 70lbs. @ 265fps
Check arrow it’s a pass thru but but looks dark and grainy like it’s muscular. Give him a while and go to track. Not much as I feared. Spots here and there and I’m crawling on hands and knees tracking for hours. Finally come across a bed with lung blood about the size of a softball. Feeling better and finally find him not far from there. As a crow flies he only went 115 yards.
Here’s pics. Entry looks a little high forward and exit looks perfect but the entry and exit are pinholes. I’d expect bigger holes and more blood with these ironwills. Don’t get me wrong I’m super stoked but Do y’all think it’s shot placement ? Or what gives with my struggles there on the blood trail?
