Hard Earned Scrub
« Thread Started on Oct 11, 2009, 7:28am »
well i had a bad shot/deer, it turned out well but was an ordeal. i was 25' in climber tick toter came by before i could untie hoist cord from my E'cet 200. i was testing a meat seeker 2 blade. est. shot was 40 yds, was 41. shot thru limbs saplins downed trees. angled away but not a 90 degree. i made the shot hunted another hr & half before getting down. went to area found arrow had drop of blood. cast about fer 15-20 min found light drops of blood. i am picking this trail fer 45 min or so about a third of a mile. it jumps up out of high weeds and jumps a 4' hog fence, i lead it and shot it with my slick and log arrow. it thumps like a ripe mellon. i watch deer run thru woods, blood trail is immediate. i wait another hr, walk to where i last saw it move and it was there dead. the meat seeker slicded and or skidded about 8" on right shoulder, see in pick. i can't say it failed but i won't be using another of them!

That was a great follow up shot.
Did you happen to find the meat seeker?
Just curious.
Congratulations again ::)

That head passed all phases of testing but failed the hard quartering shot portion.
Unfortunately, we found out the same way you did.
I had run of of time on the test and Greg had one head....so he purposefully waited for a hard quartering.
We got the deer but the results were disastrous.

Congrats, Mike! Gotta love those Slicks! I don't know if it's just me and my crappy memory, but sure seems to me like the older ones I had 1st a few years ago sure had better steel in the blades.
