Its brand new with a warranty, youd be an idiot if you tore it down and screwed it up and voided the warranty. Its like buying a car with a 100k mile drivetrain warranty and rebuilding the transmission yourself at 30k miles just because you have the know how.Some of the advice you guys hand out is just ridiculous. Working on a bow isnt rocket science. Its like anything else, take the time to learn how to do it, and you can do it yourself.
Well, the best example I can give is The Gimp. High pressure area, lots of yotes, dogs, similar scale injury. Not exactly easy ground to get around on, but high food availability. He did alright.
He looks in pretty good condition other than the leg. Considering the snow falls we have had, etc so far this year, if he were really pathetically stumbling around, Id expect to see him in bad shape, malnourished, etc.
Brand new, and guys are suggesting taking sandpaper to anything? Really guys? Take it back to the pro shop and let them take care of it. They will be able to deal with Hoyt easier than you will.
No.
Its a bad injury, but if you caught it, late last season, I posted pics of a buck I named The Gimp. He had been hit by a car in 2012, and his whole right hip and leg was shattered. He got around the fields and swamp pretty well for a year before the farm manager shot him. They can live with 3 legs. Heres a link to the pics I posted of that other buck...

Looks like a possible gun shot wound to me. Clipped his rear leg and took out the tendon, you can see the chunk missing. Yotes will probably get him, but Ive seen them survive worse injuries.
You guys seem to be on to something. The IP address is coming from what looks to be an IP proxy style source. It's not a typical ISP type name when you do a WHOIS on it. Don't take it for gospel, but someone seems to be trying to cover their tracks for whatever reason....
