Never seen this kind of broad head before

It's a 100gr 2 blade NAP blade runner. $39 bucks at Bellas. An exit wound might have helped the shooter find it. But. You know. Those 2 inch cut heads aren't exactly know for their exit holes.

Where's that beating a dead horse smiley. Lol

I've never had a problem with a 2 blade rage passing through. Except when I hit the high shoulder.

Before boing any deadhead it really helps to remove as much as possible(basically cape it out) to where you have mostly the eyes and some meat left and whatever else is left inside the mouth,nasal cavity and skull. Then I start the boiling process. The "gag factor" is greatly reduced when you remove as much as possible before boiling. Lol. Boiling this stuff off will cause a somewhat of a foul odor for some so make sure you're outside with good ventilation. Use an old fillet knife,spackling knife,screwdriver or any other tool to help your remove the crud throughout the process. It can take anywhere between 2-4 hours so have plenty of beer in the cooler... Lol

Good luck and looking forward to some pictures.

Nice shed. To bad about the dead one.

Good finds slam! At least the deadhead will get some recognition this way...still a shame when they die like that.

Ya I hate finding them like that, the least I can do is do a euro mount. Its going to be tough, it stinks pretty bad Lol.

Chad, I posted a pic how I cut the head off pre boiling in the DIY thread.

Count yourself lucky. The net is full of posts about two blade two inch cut heads and their lack of penetration. We've discussed it in depth here before also so I'm not looking to start that up again. Lol. But even a high shoulder hit shouldn't stop a good fixed blade head with a reasonable cutting diameter out of modern equipment. It's the "except for when" that's the problem with them. BHs should be judged by how they perform when the odds are stacked against them not when the shot is textbook.

There's a small dent on the outside of this shed that some rodent made. Do any of you guys ever patch them with putty or something like that and then paint over it?

 

[finelyshedded]

I wouldn't do a thing to it Chad! Only if it's a big shed from a deer I'm hunting or have history with would I even consider fixing or repairing. This is a big shed and you are hunting it but a little chew isn't that noticeable or enough to chance fugging it up even more. jmo

 

[Bigslam51]

I probably won't mess with it, it adds character anyway Lol.

Nice find. To help with the stink factor I hang the head under my lento on my pole barn. Then clean it up next spring. That way it's out of the weather and protected from varmints, 2 legged and 4 legged.

I for one don't believe in patching up the antlers.
