Stick in a target and see how well it pulls out. Just like the havoc 2 blade good luck ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Open the head up . Hold the shaft and pull the broadhead back through your hand ! They will not fold back. Got first hand experience . That’s why a buddy shoots em he wants it to stay in and destroy the deer inside out no matter what and why the t3 are illegal in ny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

can you explain why hunters would want to shorten gun season?
travisrage replied to Robhuntandfish's topic in Deer Hunting
The health of the ratio. Rather have mature deer breeding rather then 1.5 spike horns doing it. And not all archery hunters are gun hunters. Most of my friends bow hunt through the gun season. I’m a die hard gun hunter on the other hand. It’s easier for me. Don’t need any more of a challenge! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

One buck a year would be amazing for the health of the population and the gun hunters would see more bucks if the archery guys had to make a decision if there season was over. Archery should go till January 1st so those archery guys can hunt over Xmas ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Id like to see the gun season shortened by 12 days. As a gun hunter we have the privilege of usually being right in the peak of the rut. The most activity I’ve seen on cams is always the 15-th to the 22nd. Having a season so long is ridiculous. Take vacation days guys like every other hunter in the country does with short seasons. If anything it should be one week for bucks and then rest of the gun season for does. Archery is much more challenging to harvest an animal as we know. Anyone that says that’s not true I dare you to pick up a bow and put down the gun during the gun season. We have too many does in the south eastern portion and it’s close to a 5-1 ratio and all small bucks 1.5 do all the mating. Let’s make a change! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

They are 100% barbed. They do not fold back like rages. Ethically if a bad shot is taken and there isn’t a pass through that head ain’t comming out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sat at a spot last night with hopes of filling a doe tag. Around 4 pm had 3 deer move through but too far off. Then moments later had a solo deer off in the distance work in my direction to pop out at 30 yards through some thick stuff. I saw rack and my heart started thumping. I got to my feet and while waiting for a moment to draw I got hit hard with buck fever! He started working to within 20. He was facing me head on. Ha legs shaking and I thought I was gonna pass out. I was in mid draw and he picked me off. I was stuck. Between being cold hungry and shaking from the fever i was a hot mess. I couldn't control my legs shaking and he bolted! I grunted and stopped him around 30 yards. I finished my draw out the pin on his body and let it rip. Shot went higher than I wanted and I heard a CRACK! He bolted and the arrow fell out in 15 yards and that's all I saw of him. Thought I got 6" of penetration from my perspective in the tree. Instantly I thought I hit shoulder from the sound and reaction. Called my dad and buddy and said I just hit the shoulder of a buck. My heart must have been 200 beats a minute. I waited 30 seconds and got to the ground. I sat at the base of the tree till dark and then went to the impact spot. Immediately I saw blood in snow. I said man muscle blood? Then I followed blood to the arrow. I love rage hypodermics but the hypo shaft that screws into the insert broke off! Wth! Never had that happen, but the arrow shaft was covered in blood! I left the arrow and in the snow I saw the prints and kept following the spray paint of blood. I said maybe I got lucky. I looked up and saw body! Couldn't believe it. He went all of 50 yards. Didn't hear a crash between the snow and me crying on the inside. He was dead in about 4 seconds which I feel great about. I was so pumped with emotions. Biggest NY deer for me and first tag that was used in the late season. Upon field dressing the broadhead shaft broke while cracking a far side rib. Blood trail was insane. Gonna enjoy this one for a while! Threw him in the truck, grabbed a pick , filled out my tag proudly and drove to my dads house to share the story. Thanks for reading boys!

I snagged a doe sat and going for a few more if able. Wont see any bucks cause my area only holds a few does unfortunately. But getting some meat down for friends and fam is important to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I think some buddy letting their dogs loose to do whatever they want is irresponsible and different than if someone was hunting with a dog. If someone lets their dog run loose without restraint or supervision they should understand their dog may not come back. Simple as can be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
