Broadhead in bone!

[buck man]

I was visiting a bud in California while working,and he pulled out an unusual conversation piece. It is the leg bone off a benchleg he shot with his rifle that had this broadhead embedded in its bone right below the joint. It had been there for a while. You can see the bone growing through the ribs of the blade.

Have any of you had a similar experience? What kind of broadhead is it?

To me it looks like a satellite, or a thunderhead. 

Pics were with my cell phone, but they turned out pretty good! Had to get real close to see the definition in the bone growth.

That's pretty wild

Ouch, I can't imagine walking around with that in my bones.

Looks to be a thunderhead broadhead.

drew an any bull archery tag in the manastash a few years back and arrowed a 6 pt bull.  when skinning it out had a broadhead stuck into the neck vertebrae attached to 2" of arrow shaft with about a softball sized lump growing around it.  it wasn't from that year so someone else had previously taken a poke at him.  wish i had taken a pic---it was pretty knarly...tough critters

My buddy bought a couple packs of those at walmart on discount for 50 cents a piece. We had blades come out while shooting a "block" target. That same buddy had helped with an elk that had a healed over broadhead in its femur.

I shot a 3x3 whitetail  during modern and found a perfectly healed broadhead in the back straps .

i shot a spike elk that had a broadhead in the backstraps but lucky enough it healed up so it was still good. the deer that i shot that year had a broadhead stuck in the underside of the shoulder and had to throw the whole deer away!!! :bash:oh well i did that buck favor and he didnt suffer anymore. when i shot  the buck or the spike you  couldnt even tell they where hurt

My buddy shot a 5x6 rossie this year...he had a broken front leg.  It looked like he had been shot because the opposite leg looked grazed.  When we were butchering we found a broadhead in the shoulder blade and a 270-7mm bullet lodged  against his spine.   Them animals is tough!

I shot a 6x6 Bull in the White River area about 15 years ago(Modern Rifle) that had a broad head piercing through the Big front shoulder Blade bone. We cut our own meat up. It had formed a pocket around the broad head that looked like a huge cyst and it had healed. We just cut out around the pocket to get back into good solid meat and it was fine eating. We had no clue from the outside there had been a wound until we cut it up. It was an old nice bull that probably had had bigger racks when more in his prime but I had it measured up along with a Bigger Bull I had gotten that made the Washington state book and it would have make the book with an archery score.....some hunter had a solid hit on the one that got away..........Les

I found an elk carcass while elk hunting several years ago that had a broadhead embedded in a clavicle.

It had a lump of stuff (solid - calcium???) growing around it.

I've found quite a few bullets, but never a broadhead.  Though my old butcher used to have half a dozen or so on his wall.  Pretty neat how a deer and elk's body can grow over such sharp pieces.  We shot a deer one year that had a stick almost the full length of one lung.  That bugger was a race horse!  Took us three days to finally catch him taking a break.  Definately a Thunderhead 100 in the picture.
