Which statement about the broadhead-related dressing process is true?

• A. Dress with great caution until you locate all parts of the broadhead.
• B. Ignore broadhead parts while dressing game.
• C. Discard the broadhead immediately after harvest.
• D. Only check broadheads after skinning.

Answer: (A)

Safety around sharp broadheads is the priority when dressing game. You should proceed with great caution and search for all parts of the broadhead because blades can stay embedded in tissue or fragments can detach during harvest. Locating every piece helps prevent injuring yourself or others and ensures you don’t leave dangerous metal in the meat. Discarding the broadhead right away isn’t necessary and can waste recoverable parts, while waiting until after skinning to check misses blades that could be hidden inside the body or carcass during earlier steps. Checking and removing any found parts as you go keeps the process safer and the meat cleaner.
