RAMCAT Terminal Performance on a Buck

Shot this little buck Friday night. I was sitting on the ground in a ghille suit.
Shot was at 20 yards quartering away. Micro 335, 413gr arrow tipped with a 125grain RamCat BH.
Deer ran for maybe 45yds total in a loop. Ended up 35yds from where I hit him. From shot until he crashed was maybe 5 seconds?
This is the entry wound, it exited through the shoulder bone. I recovered the arrow at the POI, BH in perfect shape. First drop of blood was 1yd away from POI, alleviating the idea that a deer needs to "fill up" before the blood starts flowing.

Love the RamCats........

I spect blood will spray as the air is flowin in n out of the lungs. Hit high most will flow into the chest cavity. I have n you mayhave seen all sorts of runs by deer. Some fall get up n run more, run into trees n so on. They will leave drops n spray along the way. When hit low in the chest cavity in its lungs blood jus starts pourin out very quickly

Expect you don't have any Ramcats for sale. Looks viscous!

I've not seen a head consistently make a better blood trail. The blood trail on my last bison was crazy like this as well. Outfitter was really impressed. If you look at the design, I think the "scoops" in the ferrule contribute both to the great penetration and good blood. Same concept as on the Ruger ARX self defense ammo. My only complaint is that I wish the blades were a bit thicker.....but yeah I'll stick with these for a while yet.
