I think that might be what you’re looking for?
I’m deeply mentally invested in the outcome of this vote from Oklahoma. It’s looking promising and I’m optimistic but I know anything can still happen. I have been so impressed & proud with the way hunters & outdoorsmen & women have come together to battle this bullshit ballot box biology...
Assuming you’re asking about E-callers… I’d suggest Foxpro. A lot of people like lucky duck as well I don’t personally have any experience with LD. As for model we would need to know your budget to help there.
Seems after the first few stories of poachers getting caught and exposed people would stop poaching record book bucks.
I guess I don’t see the issue with companies publishing stories of big deer and following up with the stories once the truth is brought to light.
The deer hunting in Oklahoma has been pretty sub par overall since season started. Been in the high 80s low 90s most days. A cold front just pushed in and cooled things off so I’m sure deer activity will pick up and you’ll start seeing more guys having success on mcaap. I’ve had several buddies...
Just gave it a listen. Some good info in there! Sounded like you could sum it up pretty well with the statement most the time the indian is the problem, not the arrow.
How does a bigger hole help with finding animals but 2 smaller holes doesn’t help?
2 holes most certainly helps in finding animals.
Think a hard downward angle on a double or single lunged deer. I’ll take that smaller extra hole low in his chest every time over a larger hole high on the body...
I will say I don’t see any advantages of the hybrid broadheads I’ve seen. You don’t get the forgiveness of mechs or the increased penetration of fixed. But I actually just glanced at the sevr hybrids and the fixed portion is so small maybe you can retain some of that forgiveness. Just seems like...
There’s no denying a good fixed head gets through bone much better than any mechanical… Therefore a well designed COC gives you a higher likelihood of killing a shoulder shot animal.
You talk about big holes of mechs but a 2” 2 blade (common in mechs) only has 1/8” more total cut than a 1 1/4”...
A gut shot animal dies 100% of the time. A shoulder shot animal only dies if you get through the bone into vitals.
A good fixed head has been proven more effective at getting through bone. Yes a bigger cut is definitely helpful in a gut shot but the end result is the same.
Thats just my logic...
Thats another factor. I believe people willing to put in the work and time to get fixed blades to fly correctly probably shoot more than a lot of guys that just throw an expandable on a couple weeks before season expecting them to “fly like a field point”.
Bow: Hoyt VTM 31 27.5”/70#
Arrows: Rip TKOs weighing 410gr @ 283fps
Broadhead: QAD Exodus 100gr swept
This combo performed flawlessly on 2 mature bucks last year and shoots great.
You’re right but large cut mechanicals reduce the odds of getting a pass through period. Let alone hit hard bone. Saw a guy hunting elk w G5 megameats and figured he’d probably be lucky to get a pass through after just hitting a rib or two.
