Shot at around 17 yards at 16-17 feet up
42# with VPA 2 blade 175gn on Easton gamegetters. Would you believe me if I told you she made it over 250 yards?

Nice deer! Welcome to traditional bowhunting!! It's really amazing what a wounded deer can do some times
 
Nice work! How was the blood trail with that two blade?

Exit hole was fairly low (arm pit) but the blood trail was really good IMO. The area she ran was tons of head high weeds and shrubs. When it was in the “open” I could follow it at a walking pace easily through the woods. It didn’t take long to find new blood majority of the track with just me and my brother. It’s also one of the reasons I was so keen to back out and come back after dark is the blood was so good I wasn’t worried about that being an issue.

Blood trail was one of my initial concerns as I’ve never shot a 2 blade, but after seeing the internal clotting and damage along with the blood trail i have no worries.

Nice job! They’re tougher than we can ever imagine. That’s why I love whitetail deer and hunting them, they’re the epitome of grace and strength.
 
Got a better pic of that bow? What is it? Looks awful pretty from what I can see.
Stalker stickbow 19” ILF riser with Uukha ex1 evo2 limbs. I bought them both used but it would be hard for to consider anything but a stalker after shooting this one. I am limited in my recurve experience (2 years shooting) but really enjoy this bow. Would love to have matching limbs eventually, or just a new one to go next to it.
