Son gets deer!

A couple of weeks ago I posted some pictures of some deer that my son said were his hit list. After a couple of close calls with this big boy it finally came together this morning. He was using a Knight KP1 30-06 with Rem. 180 gr Core Lokts at 110 yards. Dropped him in his tracks. Hunting over a whe...

Son's Hit List

Here is my 13 year old son's hit list for this weekend. Saturday is opening day of a 10 day modern gun season. I have tagged out but he has hopes (expectations), don't you think? He says he will only take one of these 6 bucks. May change his mind by the 10th day if things don't go according to plann...

First Buck with Equinox

Took my first buck with my new Equinox. A little small but someone had shot him across the back with a shotgun. You can see the spot on his back. That was not the problem though, he had also been shot in the brisket by a shotgun. I knew the deer was limping a little and was losing weight (pictures t...

Didn't find the arrow and it sounded like thumping a ripe watermelon.

You did say Equinox? I also have an Equinox and was having problems with my firebolts and boltcutter broadheads. I did two things: 1st - I refletched the firebolts with 2" blazers and rt helix twist. Using the boltcutters I got a group of 1 1/2" at 40 yards. Big improvement from a 5" ...

I was on the ground. 20 yards aiming just behind the shoulder, using 20 inch firebolt with bolt cutters, 336 fps. I was using the excalibur set up more or less. Both deer were there but chose the aged one. I hope I find him too because he is the only buck I have seen this year that is old enough to ...

wounded deer question

Need some help guys. I shot a nice buck this evening with me Equinox. I thought that I had placed a really good shot on him. His front legs buckled underneath him and he was pushing with his back legs. He was trying to get up but having trouble keeping his front legs under him. I heard him crash dow...

Arrows and BHS

I know this is probably a redundant question, but I am looking for a good arrow-BH combo for my CB. I have a 225# Equinox with STS system, FFF string and Lumizone scope. I have been shooting the Firebolts with the Boltcutters that came with the package. I have very good accuracy with the 100 gr. fie...
