Where did she shoot it and did you use that line to pull it in or did you put some snatch hooks in it also. how did you keep the hide fresh to show the DNR.. sorry so many questions going for the first time in 2 weeks.

She shot him in the back shooting a 52lb Hoyt Faktor 30. we use 600# Muzzy Gator line and a Muzzy Gator arrow w detachable point tied to a Muzzy buoy w strob light. he went about 75 yrds and layed on bottom. we usually finish them w the bow and muzzy broadheads but being her first I didn't play around. pulled him up and put the 9mm through his skull. we wrapped him up in a tarp filled w ice and took him to a walk in cooler the next morning. I have a buyer that takes it from there and helps w check in

sweet so the only line used was the one attached to the arrow. how far out was the shot to get good penetration.

she literally hit him it the worst and hardest part of his body, but still buried the entire tip. and believe me, once it's buried its extremely rare that it comes out. and yes, only line on him..no problems
