Re: Broadhead Questions
Thanks for the responses thus far folks! Appreciated! :D As noted, I did consider the Slick Tricks simply because my Partner enjoyed such success with them. And I do believe they will fly fine from the Exomax given the 6 degree helical Big John was so kind as to install the blazer vanes with. That s...

Broadhead Questions
Following this season's successful hunts, I find myself now searching for a new broadhead. In short, I was rather unimpressed by the Boltcutters this season. Yes, they fly extremely close to my field tips of equivalent weight, and that I do Enjoy... But ... My Hunting Partner uses a 175 lb 10-Point ...

Re: 3 Species - One Season - One Bow
WOOPS! Damn near forget! I did say " Three Species " this season for the bow... Just a day or two before I wandered over to the mainland had me working an area reasonably close to town for one of three decent bucks in there. Snowing in the upper elevations that day, and super quiet for st...

Re: 3 Species - One Season - One Bow
Tagged out for mulies, we then set our sights on whitetails. Opening morning the next day found us a fair ways south, and sightings began almost immediately. From the signs, the trails had seen some awfully busy times from the last of the rifle hunters the week before, even most of the little known ...

Re: 3 Species - One Season - One Bow
After arriving and headed in to the heart of that area, I happened to glance up a hill and saw a couple of " odd-looking sticks " centered on the top of the knoll 75 yards out. Is that an EAR below the one stick ? TWITCH! aYUP!! Bail and try to get closer as he was a little ways out. Downr...

Re: 3 Species - One Season - One Bow
I called my new Hunting Partner just as I entered into the zone I had a muley doe LEH tag for (south of Kamloops). He was somewhat insistent that I forgo that tag for an opportunity to take a buck in his area with the bow. So, I reluctantly passed on dozens of too-easy shots in the LEH area, and act...

Re: 3 Species - One Season - One Bow
There was of course a reason, well... several reasons really, why the game was acting so SPOOKED! Damn near everywhere we went we encountered wolf tracks, and almost always running deer. For perspective, that is a 300 Weatherby Mag round laying next to the Big Dawg's track. Good Sized One for sure! ...

3 Species - One Season - One Bow
Bear with me for a moment as this starts off with a hunt in which I carried the rifle as much as the bow. That will change in a post or two... So, a little better than 2 weeks ago I set off for BC's mainland in hopes of finding a cooperative moose and a deer or two. Encouraged by good reports of sig...

Re: Slick Trick XBow broadheads
Here is my impression on both Boltcutters and Slick Trix from this season: I run 150gr Boltcutters off an Exomax. Twice had IDENTICAL shots to my partner running 125 Slick Trix off his 175lb Ten Point. Near exact placement, near exact range, near exact body size, all animals relaxed upon firing. Bot...

Re: Heading Out...
Truck now re-packed for the return wander. Moose was a damn tough hunt under difficult conditions, resulting in the decision to pull the pin and wander on to more fruitful pursuits (dammit!). Happy my Buddy talked me into holding the muley effort for his zone, paid off with a rather handsome but str...

Re: Blazer Vanes Questions
I see lots of people talking about good 30 yard groups with blazers, but has anybody shot good groups at farther ranges? 60 Yard Group with 2" Blazers on Big John Custom Arrows (BEST I've ever shot btw!): http://gallery.fishbc.com/albums/Ironnoggin/Robin_Hood_1.jpg As the others suggested, DO ...

Re: What Type Of Rain Gear Do You Carry With You?
If you wait for the sky-water to quit here in Lotus Land , you'll likely miss the vast majority of the season! They don't call it a Rain Forest without cause!! :lol: Helly Hansen Impertech jacket and bib pants are THE way to go. Extremely light (roll up into a very small package) yet a LOT more dura...
