Pro Tip: Head and neck shots only boys. Have heard too many stories of watching a ruff or big blue fold after making it well out over a steep canyon before succumbing to being perforated. Don't feed the 'yotes....


Had one take an arrow over the hill on a broadside middle mass shot years ago....after that it was head shots only, they can flop around for a few ....but never had another one get over the hill.
