High Deer Recovery Rates for Fixed-Blade and Mechanical Broadheads | Quality Deer Management Association I personally have a hard time believing the overall recovery rate. They must be only surveying very experienced and good bow hunters. If you took all bow hunters, both good and bad, I think the overall recovery rate would be lower.
Ahh, i beat you to posting this! :p As far as the recovery rates goes it sounds like most of the hunters surveyed were experienced and took shots within 25 yards.
