    Looking for advice. Mid size v full size truck??

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    I've had Chevy 1500 Siverado's and F150 Crew Cabs but now have a 2013 Nissan Frontier SL crew Cab long box. Honestly it's my favorite truck of the bunch.  It does what I need as far picking up plywood, long boards, etc fine. Unlike the OP, I don't have children anymore and I do not tow and really don't need the full size.

    The OP on the other hand needs the full size truck. Get the Crew Cab in whichever brand you like.  As stated, the gas mileage isn't that much worse and with 2 kids and a dog + the ball and chain (just kidding) you will be much happier.

    Any Correlation?

    I think "time" is the most important factor for which a hunter may decide to horn hunt rather than meat hunt.  Obviously if you really like venison and you have only a few days to hunt you can't be as particular.

    To me... it would seem most likely someone with a lot of time, perhaps retired or simply takes off a lot of time during hunting season who has their own land or has a land lease, once again would be more likely to horn hunt.

    Any Correlation?

    I got to thinking... There has been much talk about about horn hunters and meat hunters... those of us who hunt for the mature trophy buck and those who hunt for most any buck. I'm not saying either is right or wrong. 

    Do you think there is any correlation between the hunter who has:

    A- Land of their own or that is leased determining what and how they hunt

    B- A lot of time to dedicate to waiting it out for the mature or trophy buck

    C- Both owning their land or leasing as well as many days to hunt.

    quiet day for my son and I. He saw 4 doe and 3 fawns and I saw 1 doe all by 9:30am.  I have a good herd of doe on the property so 3 weeks from now I should start to see the bucks nosing around.

    Enough power for Rage

    in Bow Hunting

    Posted · Edited by nybuckboy

    I have always used Montec G5 fixed blade broad heads and taken a few bucks with them.  Last year at the urging of my son in law, I decided to try Rage Hypos 2 blade 100 gr.  Question I am shooting a Mathews Halon 6 w/28" at 56 lbs and 403 grain arrow weight at 10% FOC.  Is this enough for a Rage expandable?

    EDIT NOTE: My arrow speed is about 285 with KE at 72.6 and momentum at .5095

    Specs  IBO 345 FPS 70 lb with 350 gr, 30" arrow
