| I have seen tons of deer this year. Completely opposite of last year! I shot a nice buck last week, but was unable to find him :](*,) First deer I haven't been able to find. The arrow hit with that classic thump, the arrow had blood and fat on it, but we could not find a blood trail. It was last minutes of the hunt and about 8 deer in the field. When I shot they all scattered and it was very hard to see where he dashed into the woods. Hopefully I'll get another chance. |

probably a little low, most of the fat will come from the briscut.

Sure wish I had that number that night :yes: I'm going to put you on my cell phone book in case it happens again :thumbsup1: He was angled pretty sharply quartered to me so I was thinking probably a little far forward and hit the briscut like you said and maybe hit shoulder and ricochet out because the arrow was laying behind where he was when I shot.
Hesseu - This weather really makes it feel right :yes: You going to try that rubber band call this year? |

hey red, were you using slick tricks?
i had a similar problem this year on a doe. i was using montecs though. i swore g5 wasn't going to get any more of my money after some incidents with the tekkan,
i use thunderheads now but all my good gear got lost when i flew back from alaska and i had to wait a few days for it. but i had to hunt, so the doe paid the price.
that's why it's hunting right? |

100 gr. Thunderheads.
I think I made a poor choice on the angle, I thought had plenty of room so now in hindsight I'm thinking I should have waited for a better shot ::-k |
