Well just found my first arrow of the season. Usually I find 4 or 5 each year. Went out this morning before the snow and found one four pt. and the arrow but then it started snowing really hard so that was it for today. How many arrows do you guys usually find? Good luck. Buck

I usually find a couple a year. I've found 1 so far and it was still in the deer.

We find one ever couple years. Not a lot of bowhunting going on in my immediate area. Most just gun hunt and private land is posted to the hilt for gun season. I bowhunt but haven't lost any arrows to find.

I have found two arrows this year. Found one not far from a 2 pt. shed. The arrow had a nice curve in it, the blade a 3 blade WASP SL was in good shape, just a little rust on the point.

The second arrow was one of my own. I missed a nice buck this year, knew I didn't hit him as he only ran off a little ways then circled back out of range before heading out. Found no blood and saw him later that day chasing does. Was not able to find the arrow in the tall grass after making the shot.

I used the first arrow I found to find my arrow. After removing the broadhead, I dragged it through the tall grass in the area of my shot, hoping to hear the sound of an arrow on an arrow...sure enough after a few passes I heard a click and there it was deep in the grass. Bear broadhead was in good shape, insert blade still intact.
