Wow look at that wound. Those boltcutters really make a hole. My deer looks like a puppy compared to some of yours.

Thank you Sir.

Here's my 8 pointer opening day October 1st 1435 hrs. This bad boy was with three other bucks 2 6 pointer's and another smaller 8 pointer. This is my first 8 pointer.

That's my boy. Great job Bob.

Instead of all that go with the rage expandables.

I sat for about thirty minutes then slowly got up to walk as you couldn't hear my steps with the light rain. Then we tracked combined over 4 hrs.

Good for you. I spent many a dollars and years hunting in Canada for a Bear and never got one!

Sounds good as well Bob, didn't know about that til now. Thanks. As for the bluestar, it will work two or three days later they say. I can't verify that as we did our tracking the same night the buck was shot. Of course you lose the meat if it you have to wait to long, but maybe not, it would depen...

Yes I am confident out to 60 yards, and would not hesitate on taking another shot at 50. Variables do come into play and I am a very competent hunter. I don't expect sympathy, but will not tolerate someone telling me to quit bowhunting!

Two things that make me cringe..."50 yards" and "in the rain". How many more of these stories are we going to see before people actually get it? If you insist on hunting in the rain, limit your shots right down to 20 yards. Better yet, put the bow down, pick up the shotgun and g...

We were both trying to figure out how this deer kept going. :? It sounds like you didn't hit the vitals or any major arteries. It's not much of a surprise at 50 yards. It was a solid hit behind the shoulder, that much I can tell you. Fifty yards or not that arrow went deep into him. Now that I real...

Bad new fellas, shot a buck today but was unable to find him after tracking him in the rain for 3 hours. I would like to that BOB1961 for helping me on the second go round, I had a good broadside hit with alot of blood and tissue on the ground, but he ran more than 400 yards. I shot him at 50 yards ...

Niice. Looks like a head shot? Today it is raining today or I would have been out already.
