Thanks Dan and I think you hit the nail on the head... I just measured the shaft, it is indeed full length 18". There is a split on one side and it's a little boogered up, but what you describe adds up with what I saw. The impact with shoulder bone on the other side must have broke the insert loose. Which would explain why it's not in the deer or why I couldn't find the head on the field, because it's buried. Now why didn't I think of that?xcaliber wrote:Is the arrow full length? The insert, and head might have come unglued, and kept going into the ground behind her. If the arrow is shorter than your cut length, it might have snapped off with the jewelry!![]()
Congrats on the deer John!
I did take it to a processor and informed them that there may be a broadhead still inside. They hung it up and washed it out good and we looked but no luck. But I did tell them several times that I have a missing broadhead and to be careful.Michiganhunter wrote:I would suggest that if you take the deer to a processor that you tell them there may be a broadhead lodged in a shoulder yet or if you cut it up yourself be very careful in case the head is still in the deer. Don't want to get a nasty cut reaching around while skinning and cutting.
