    Took this doe at 7:13 am on the season opener on Saturday. The 1 3/4" cut 125 grain Grim Reaper not only passed through on a hard quartering away shot but also broke the left front leg before landing on the ground. The Reaper was totally undamaged.

    In case you notice that there are TWO bloody arrows in the quiver, I actually doubled on does Saturday morning. I only took a picture of the bigger one. I had shot one 13 minutes earlier at 7:00 am straight up and heard it pile up just under 50 yards away. I was actually sitting on the bar of my Summit Viper watching the direction the does had run when I heard a sound behind me and glanced over my shoulder to see two does standing in front of me at 15 yards. I slowly turned around, drew, and drilled the bigger of the two. The Grim Reaper held up extremely well, but believe it or not, even with that massive exit wound and leg wound it was a very difficult blood trail to follow. I very much prefer the AWESOME blood trail that the Slick Trick that I used on the first doe produced. That's what I was looking for!
