after season toxic broadhead review.

Well I started this season so excited to try out the toxic broadheads. I can defiantly say im am disappointed. Sunday right before dark a spike and doe came out. Figured the spike looked real tasty so I decided to take him. 35 yard complete pass threw. I did hit alittle back. Liver and maybe back of the lungs. Backed out and waited 30 minutes to find arrow and blood trail. Didmt even start bleeding for 40 yards or more. Followed his tracks. Blood finally showed up but really really small drops. (Quarter size) every 5 or so feet. Marked last blood and called 3 of my buddies to help track. Looked for 4 or more hours that night. Lost blood so started walking down every trail. Then did circles. Came back in the morning looked for about 5 more hours with 3 of us. No deer. Everyone in my group is stumped...

Might not be the BH, but I have no skin in that game as I use muzzys. My daughter took her buck a little far back with a full size 50 cal maxiball type bullet at 12 yards. She caught the back of both lungs and the liver and he still ran (trotted) almost 100 yards with only two drips of blood. If you missed those lungs, which would be easy to do, he could have gone a really long ways with a hole in his liver and w/o leaking much blood. BTW, a possible liver shot I would have left for at least an hour.
Sorry to hear you could not find him, that's tough to take.

Sounds more like bad arrow placement than bad broadhead
. You can't ask for much more than a pass threw
. There are spots on every animal that you won't get good blood trails on doesn't matter what broadhead you shoot.

Post the video.
Even though I think those broadheads are a gimmick if you did in fact get both lungs that deer would have died. Guts you may have pushed it and spooked the wounded deer from its death bed
I am betting on poor shot placement over faulty broadhead.

I really do not know what to tell you ..but I hear a lot on the site ...I just watched a show 5 min. ago She drilled this whitetail tight on the crease of the shoulder ...Blood shot out instantly before the deer took off ...She then did not feel comfortable with her shot
They wait until morning and recover the deer 250 yrds from where she hit it ....I am totally lost on some of the stuff I hear or see on T.V ....some people must have bad luck or something ...I watched more deer and elk flop over before my eyes than I have watched run off and go past 100 yrds ... CRAZY ..... My
to you is shoot a 100 gr Wasp boss ....everything dies

I felt more then comfortable with my shot. Last year I hit one alittle far back with my magnus stingers and it went maybe 40 yards and tipped over. Poured blood also. The videos on my buddys iPhone ill see if he will post it

Both me and my wife used toxic broadheads this year. Wife's mule deer doe droped right where she was standing with a 35 yard shot double lung.
My mule deer doe went 15 feet with a double lung shot, both were bleeding like stuck pigs!
My doe was choking on her own blood so loud it was sickening even though it was oy for a few seconds.

Thats what I expected! I figure even if I did hit it back farther than it looks then it still would pile up within reasonable range with a hole like that in it

I shot my deer with muzzy mx4 and there was a very obvious blood trail even with a high lung shot. I really think that the toxics are another gimmick head that wont be around long
a deer hit in the liver with a head that claims it cuts big holes should bleed out pretty fast and the blood shouldnt be able to clod leaving no blood trail
