I get what you're saying. One of the reasons we kept going on that midnight recovery is a storm was coming in hot and there would be no more blood trail if it reaches us. But, that deer would've been recovered before dark had I waited 20 minutes to go get her and we would've been long gone. The...
This is RS so you're gonna be tarred and feathered for even saying the L word. I have one and it's been great, but the gang here have tainted me and I'll be buying a Trijicon next (last 3 have been Trijicon). Take a look at the Accupoint for a nice lighter weight option. The Credo, Huron, and...
Yes they were both recovered. Yes tracking blood. The first one was more quartering than I thought and only got one lung. It looked good so I put my backpack away and packed up my tripod and all my gear because we were headed home that night. Grabbed my knife and kill kit following the red brick...
My experience is primarily with Whitetail, little Elk experience. With a rifle I wouldn't have a problem but I've never had a rifle wounded animal. With a bow I don't think I could get a good shot off at a running animal fleeing if I bump them. Deer will typically lay down and watch their trail...
Man that's spooky, luckily the wolves were apprehensive and didn't just jump on them.
Saw this quote from the linked article:
"Wolves are still listed as federally endangered in Wisconsin, and it is illegal to kill them to defend livestock or pets. But they can be killed to protect human life...
No advice for you but always wonder why people don't name the perps. There could be a Slider about to send this dude money right now and you could save him.
I'm gonna run through a deer with a 2.0 from a crossbow and see what I think. I've got plenty of Slick Trick and Grim Reaper for the compound if I don't like the results. I bought about a dozen here on the Slide and another dozen new from SEVR thinking I'd use them for both compound as well as...
I have to agree that appears that it would slow things down a tad, anything has to pass over the dull hump before reaching the blades to slice. It seems they just called it trademarked skin stretch technology and call it good. I'm shooting them anyway but it bothers me a little. I'll give them a...
Wow... You didn't by chance get pics of wound channel and all that did you? I'm in no way doubting you I just want to see what it looked like. That's freaking terrible. Which SEVR head did you use?
I mean, the quilt works just like a normal blanket so you could just sleep on the cot and use the quilt. You could also use your sleep pad for more cushion on the cot and just drop the whole zenbivy system on the cot rather than the ground.
Y'all keep talking about a frontal shot, that's irrelevant here IMO. I'm not trying to be critical of OP, but an Elk isn't fast enough to go from frontal to quartering away in the flight time of an arrow at that distance. I think he spun first and as he was spinning OP released, which was way...
