    Arrow Set-up for Low Poundage Whitetails

    Keeping the ranges short and cut on contact is key. Cut the arrow weight like has been said many times. I’ve dealt with this lately with my oldest daughter coming up bow hunting the last 4 years. It’s dead broadside or no shot all the time. And it’s hard to make her pass on shots at 20 but we...

    Whitetail Arrow Weight

    What ddowning said. Whitetail aren’t incredibly difficult animals to kill in terms of getting one to die. Back 30 years ago we killed them with much slower and less efficient setups. The arrows may have been heavier at the time but for a period when we transitioned to internal component arrows...

    declaring a bow at the Canadian boarder

    Never any issue here. Have been across multiple times and never any question regarding a bow.

    What release are you hunting with 2023

    Carter Evolution 20 for me. Third year with a resistance release. Been a game changer.

    Photography- one photo a day

    Just spent a couple of hours looking at y’all’s great photography. Thought I’d throw this one up here. My daughter late last season when we stumbled upon 9 fresh piglets in a swamp on an island of grass wit my no chance of survival. As much as she enjoys the hunt and harvest she knows how to...

    Rain Gear Recommendations Needed, please

    Headed to Newfoundland in a couple of months for a moose hunt. Obviously I need good rain gear but I am torn on what to take. Currently have a set of the upper end Sitka stuff that is about 4 years old but has only been used on a few occasions bear hunting. I live in the southeast and rain...

    WY Results Are Out

    Hunted with them in ‘21 and ‘22. Top notch. Would go back in a minute. First year daughter and I both killed on second day while sitting together during archery season and the following year I killed one the second day. By far one of the best outfitters I’ve been with.

    Free Phelps tube and diaphragms

    If someone wants to send me the shipping for this stuff they can have it. I bought it for an idaho hunt and ended up not taking it. I live in Georgia so it’ll go bad before I use it. Figured I could pass it along since I look on here all the time and soak up everyone’s knowledge. If you want...

    Silverback for hunting?

    I swapped to a Carter Evolution 20 (tension release) this year from a Carter Target 3 (traditional thumb release) that I hunted with for several years and I’ve shot thumb releases since the late 90s. Target panic was coming on a little strong and the tension release made all the difference. My...

    Antelope Outfitter Recommendations

    I took my daughter on a hunt with Big Horn Outfitters in Wyoming last year (she’s 14). She took her crossbow and I bowhunted. Saw tons of animals and the folks there are great. Super accommodating and went out of their way to make my daughter feel comfortable. Both of us shot goats in the 3 days...

    Havalon vs Outdoor Edge replaceable knives? Small fixed blade knife?

    Have both. Like the Havalon much better. The blade release is easier on the Outdoor Edge but the Havalon isn’t bad either. You will break blades on the Havalon though. For fine/intricate work the Havalon shines. My Outsoor Edge lost the ability to hold a blade well and would flex and the blade...

    Fixed Pin or Moveable, 1st Time Elk Hunter

    Thanks for all of the quick responses everyone. I’ve hunted with a two pin Fast Eddie XL and/or an HHA tetra the past several years and have settled on the two pin as my “go-to” so far so I think I’ll stick with that since mine is 20/36 and I can gap anything in between and out to 40...

    Fixed Pin or Moveable, 1st Time Elk Hunter

    2022 will be my first time elk hunting and I’ve read plenty of articles but wanted some advice from actual hunters who have experiences to share. As a note, I bow hunt a lot and have for a long time. Just from Kansas eat with the exception of one antelope hunt. Question: lots of folks are...

    Hornady ELD-X

    Do a quick search on some of the other forums about them. I think my experience is more similar to what is common with them, minimal wound channel and poor exit wounds. I’ve spent lots of time on other forums researching this and this seems to be the “norm”.

    Hornady ELD-X

    Both of my kids have custom 6.5 creedmoor rifles and for two years we’ve been shooting the 143 he ELDX round. During 2019 they shot several deer with them and I noticed either no blood and/or little no exit wound. On occasion they would make a shot that I know was a hit and we would find no sign...
