My first three deer of the year.
The first was shot last Saturday a little after 8:00 in the morning. A quartering away shot that got liver, heart and a lung. The deer went less than 50 yards. And it was 50 yards in the right direction… directly towards the truck.The shot was taken from about 8 yards with a Bunker Buster at 342 fps.
The next two are both 5 points. I shot the first at 6:14 PM and the second at 6:54 PM Monday evening. The first was shot facing me at 18 yards with a Montec t 342 fps. My treestand creaked as I shifted while at full draw. I was waiting for him to turn broadside but he pegged me when the stand made a slight noise. The arrow center-punched the heart. The deer whirled, ran smack into a tree, fell, got back up and ran almost dircectly under my treestand and stopped. I went ahead and shot him again, straight in the spine, which dropped him where he stood. The inconsiderate thing made one small roll which broke the arrow in his spine. 40 minutes later the other buck showed up. He was about to step out of a thicket at 7 yards when he saw the dead deer and froze where he was at. As I shifted my feet, once again the dang stand creaked. He looked up at me and all I had was a head shot or a 3 inch gap between two trees directly into the shoulder. I took the shoulder shot. The arrow was armed with a Nightmare, the same one I used in the Nightmare review to kill the first pig. It shattered the leg bone, busted ribs going in and coming out the stuck in the off-side shoulder. The deer’s chest dropped to the ground with his back legs going wide open. He ran directly into the dead buck on the ground which caused him to turn a flip. He got his one good front leg back under him and took off as best he could, He made it about 40 yards before he did another lovely flip and expired.
The Nightmare still looks like new.
The leg bone.
I will post pics of the Broadhead latter.
Sorry about no blood trail pics. There is just so much water and mud right now.

Bet he did not know what bit him. 
the pics are great and the broadhead did its job above and beyond and it sounds like you can still use it. Can't wait to the pics of the Nightmere.
