... One last thought… The first elk I shot with a bow, had some of the most extensive blood shot I’ve every seen… One whole shoulder was almost completely ruined... it also had blood shot all the way up and around his rib cage. I’ve also killed deer with a bow that blood shot badly as well… Maybe I should switch to a “premium” broadhead too.

It is my opinion, that when the soft tissues are 'sliced' from the razor sharp broadhead, there is immediate increased blood flow to the area simply because of the increased loss of blood. Remember, when those deer are hit, they run, and when they run, there are working those intercostal muscles (rib muscles). When muscles are used at a higher rate than at rest, there is ALWAYS an increase in blood supply. It simply engorges the damaged tissue area. I've had to cut away much more meat from archery kills than from bullet kills. ... Does that make sense?
