like I said, no experience...just going off what I read. I actually used Rage for the first time this year and was impressed...but like anything else, people LOVE em until something goes wrong and they need to blame something other then themselves
-
honestly our spots have been surprisingly quiet the past few years.....and haven't seen another bowhunter in quite a few, the whole opening of rifle just doesn't grab me anymore like it used to....I could be just as happy going up and catching up on some sleep.
-
state land, on the ground...hoping I get there before someone else, high expectations after what I saw bowhunting............but honestly, I'd rather stay home and bowhunt Long Island....tradition calls so I'll drag myself up for the opener.
-
yup.
-
as in "identically crappy"?.......I honestly have no idea, but read it on the internet, so must be mostly true.
-
there were knock off "rage broadheads" being sold on ebay......from what I hear they were crap, but I guess the price tag sold a few people on them
-
nah, I shouldn't have said that....but either way, I'm gonna say low lung hit.
-
exit or entry? and what vitals where hit?.....that could very well be a lung hit or bottom of the heart, did you check them out when you gutted?
-
I edited my post to remove my closing comment.....sorry if it was out of line, just thought it was one of those "better off not said" things....congrat's on the deer.
-
either way, you probably made a good choice pushing him...sometimes that is a better option then letting them lay.
-
so, where was the hit? this may have been one of the cases where it was better to push him as opposed to letting him go.....good job either way.....
-
a good photo is better than a good mount.....in my opinion anyway.
-
unless you have deer that travel the same exact route all the time, it's real tough to depend totally on the wind...........
-
hahaha......if it wasn't for the boots, you would be invisible.
-
that's amazing, you can't even see the guy in either of the pictures.......at first glance it almost looks like the Trebark camo that first came out 30+ years ago.
-
yes, they can live.....and lose an ungodly amount of blood, to the point you'd swear it was impossible for them to survive. That being said, I would search until the bitter end.
-
yeah, I guess there is a big difference between shooting and actual performance......you could have a slug that shoots nice on paper but is horrible when it comes down to doing the job. I personally have zero complaints with the Hornady or Lightfields, but haven't had any bad shot placement or tough shots where things could go wrong.
-
didn't she used to dance in that little place in town back in the day?
-
nice deer......I was hunting one similar the past few weeks, never got a close look but was convinced he was a nice 6 or 8............that was until this past week, finally could have killed him and turned out he was only a 4pt.......Thanks to AR's, I had to let him walk.
-
I've been using "Ever Calm" the past two years....so far the only scent I'll continue to buy and use.
-
I've had deer pay no attention to scents, be attracted and show curiosity, and some slam on the brakes and take off..........no saying what will happen.
-
hmmm, I'm no expert, but if tarsal glands scared deer away, they would never stop running away from each other........pretty sure that all deer regardless of sex have them.
-
I would venture to guess that taking measures to be as scent free as possible are better then just saying the hell with it and not doing anything......and as I've mentioned before, using cover scents to mask body odor is pretty much the same as spraying Rose scented room spray in a bathroom after destroying it......you still know something bad happened there, now it just smells like sh@t and roses instead of just plain sh@t.
-
Hornady SST or Lightfield......
-
I support that 100%.........that's the progression that I feel is right.
