Congrats on hitting 100. You training and love of your dogs really shows

Well that certainly was a worth while addition to the conversation.

I love seeing endings like this. Congrats

I saw this hunter hit list and he had him in the #2 spot and called him Jeffrey Epstein.

No so sure it is really the "seek phase" ...Moog had a buck breeding a doe right in front of him yesterday. Sounds like some at least are actually breeding.

Anyone have anything they would want to trade? Trapping or hunting related would be of interest

Good luck --Hope it works out and he's within 100 yards. I sure do wish folks would not take that quartering to shot with bows.

Happy birthday Joe. Hope you are luck enough to be spending it in the woods.

I am sure there are far more high tech options but I use what I have. On my work bench I crack open the jaws on my vise about an 1/8 of an inch and lay the arrow in the opening that it makes. Something as simple as a cardboard box is placed at the broadhead tip and I push the arrow forward to just pierce the paper skin of the box. Pull the arrow back and spin it while it is still in contact with the vise jaws. if you see a wobble and the point on the cardboard there is an issue. I typically check it in 3 places along the length of the arrow that way but you might need a new pierced spot each time you slide it forward to check a different spot becasue of surface variations. If it maintains the same spot on the box while you spin it, it's ok. I will say the tops of my vise jaws are machined and smooth. I have seen many other options to do this to.

Not sure of the cause but it sure sounds like you shaved it. Even when Moog hit his with the rages on Sunday. It was through at bottom of spine and just barely poked out. There were two visible clumps of hair from the impact side. The hair is laid back in a deer. Those big blades cut and the hair it passed through dropped in chunks. Some short and some long but all together. If you hair was scattered behind the deer I am betting it was a graze. It is likely that the arrow was spinning to some degree but at that close distance I agree that he unexpanded would easily cut hair off.

High entry and exit holes suck. I would still have thought you would have seen some form of blood in that distance even with that hit. was there anything on the arrow? fat or anything?

The one I shot at 20 yards with the crossbow and rage broadheads last year. literally went 30-40 yards and I saw no blood but had seen where he went. at that point it was gushing. my bolt had no blood or fat on it that I could see. it did feel a little greasy. it went into the ground so fast from my view it looked like I missed. squeezed the trigger and it was in the ground behind the deer. how far was the cover she disappeared into?

4.46 hours or days?

It was pretty darn quick. I got a text telling me about the buck running a doe. followed right up by one that said he switched stands followed by one that said the buck was down.

Glad you are doing well Sam. Stop in from time to time and rub our noses in it......I mean keep us up to speed on what you are doing.

sure, just don't invite me over. lol

how crazy is it that a crossbow needs to be uncocked to not be considered loaded but a muzzleloader just needs the primer out. Yet you need the same license to use both of them.

Buck thorn. Invasive. 4 seeds in the berries?

Congratulations Pygmy. Nice job. I look forward to seeing the pics and the mount.

I've seen guys turn into a puddle of shaking drool with a 4 pointer in front of them. Belo nailed it. there is a "good shot" and a "good shooting hunter" The good shooting hunter really understand their limitations and stays within them. I don't care if it was 10 yards of 40. I can't tell you the number of times I have heard "hunters" make this answer to my question. Me--what is you maximum hunting range? --answer- (Insert max yardage here) yards, unless its a monster them I'll take a longer shot. My patience usually goes out the window at that point.

That is great if you have a tag for tennis balls...lol. I know guys that shoot lights out on targets all the way to 40 yards and totally fall apart and either make bad shots of miss on a live buck.

My biggests. 12 point rifle up north up north and biggest body at Field dressed 205# 9 point highest scoring- Muzzleloader- highest scoring. he would have just hit 150 if he hadn't broke his brow tines. 8 pointer - shotgun- First "mounter' i had shot.

Congrats on the buck Biz.

Reduced to $300

Happy birthday guys.
