[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 849375, member: 5412"] +1000 on this advice, and I have a personal story for this. A friend used the 30 yd pin on a 15 yd shot, and the arrow passed thru the buck and was recovered after the shot. It only had fat, and very little blood on it, and was missing a fletching. The very next year a neighbor shot a buck that had some marks on it that he thought might have been cancer. While field dressing it, there was a fletching inside the cavity. The deer had been arrowed in the area above the lungs where there is nothing vital. I'll have to look around, but I might have a pic of a buck I took about 10 years ago that I took. He was hanging in my shop after being field dressed when the skinning started. I do mine head up and before the first cut, I saw this big ugly leathery looking thing on its neck. I was going to toss the deer as I thought it was diseased or something. I cut around it to see how far it had progressed, and to my suprise a lead bullet, probably a MZ slug fell out on the floor. I have a pic of the slug I'll look for. I know its a long story, but deer can survive amazing damage, and survive just fine. Don't beat your self up over it. He may be out "doing a doe" as we speak:D:thumbup3: [/QUOTE]
