Re: Which broadhead do you use for Whitetails?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: StealthMode223</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I shot a Huge doe field dressed at 148lbs. a ground level double lung shot no blood but, I can understand since there was no high to low so the whole chest cavity had to fill with blood before there was a blood trail and she died before she bled out at all within 70 yards. I shot a really nice P&Y buck this time there was a high to low hole and still no blood and died within 40 yards of the stand. Now I know these deer died pretty close to where they were shot but I lost some confidence in the lack of blood from the Buzzcuts. This is my only complaint about them. They flew great and Magnus has an excellent warranty. I believe the hole made by the 2 blades just closes up too soon from flesh and fatty tissues and the blood just doesn't poor out to give the warm and fuzzy feeling that I get from the Grim Reapers and the doe I shot last year with them it looked like a Murder scene in the woods. I say shoot what you have the most confidence in.

I took my first deer last year, and a hog the next morning, both were double lung shots and neither went 20 yards. The dear was only 20 yards and the hog was about 45, Magnus Stinger Buzz cuts worked for me. I have the G5's, but they whistle going down range with my set up, I have tried everything from rotating my knock, spin testing, lined put he fletch's with the broadhead.... no luck. </div></div> </div></div>
If you shoot high through the chest with archery, you'll get little to no blood. Your best bet for a good trail is an under the shoulder blade double-lung. I agree 2-blades close up faster, I have had much better results with 3 blades.
I also no longer shoot deer in the heart with archery tackle. The lungs vent the blood out much better. A few years ago I shot a 10-pt straight through the center of the heart, he went nearly 200 yards at a dead run (only took a few seconds) without leaving a drop of blood behind.
