Cool hunt! I was on an archery mule deer hunt in Colorado the first week September this year and ran into a bunch of ptarmigan at 12,500 ft in sheep terrain (literally 100 yds from a band of Bighorns). I didn't even know they existed in Colorado until I got back to cell service and started...
Did a quick 4ish mile loop at lunch checking for some hot oak trees to bow hunt this weekend. Lots of white oak acorns hitting the ground and found a couple that were getting hit pretty hard.
While I agree that shot placement is the single biggest factor, there are also variables that are just beyond our control and every blood trail is different.
These two bucks were as identical of shots as you could possibly get.
- Both 4-1/2 yr old bucks
- Both shot the 1st week of...

It's their 95mm lid. Not the one on their website listed as "new version". I actually bought both this one and the new version and this one fits perfect. The folding handle wouldn't lock in the shut position with the new version and it also weighed slightly more than this one. This one...
Wanted to close the loop on this. I decided to only bring the small 110 g fuel canister on my hunt and save the weight. It worked out well and was more than enough fuel. My final set up was:
Fire Maple Petrel Pot. Lid replaced with titanium Toaks lid. - 5.45oz
Soto Windmaster Triflex...
