Thanks VixenMaster. Given your most excellent results that is good advice.

Had another suggest Grim Reapers and insists they are "the only way to go".

Getting Information Overloaded at this point...
Making it tough for me to sort this one out!!

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...

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 ...

hey noggin, nice to see the exomax lived up to it's expectations. That is Very Much Did my Friend! I am Incredibly Pleased with the ExoMax's performance this season, and am looking very much forward to the years of FUN it will provide! Thanks so much for sending her along!! And thanks to all for th...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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! ...

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...

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...

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...

Congratulations to your Young Gun on his accomplishment! I just knew that Ibex would work out well for him, and am Happy to hear it did!! Now Derf, we NEED Pictures Buddy!! :twisted: Still away from home over on the mainland. Muley Down. Headed out for a few days of chasing whitetails Early tomorro...

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 ...

It's Finally Time!! :D Truck is packed. Gear gone over 77 times... LOL! Truck Fueled and Serviced. Bow waits by the door ever so patiently... Moose, Muley and Whitetail tags in hand. :twisted: Local Intel is Very good for all! Sweet! First boat off this Rock to the mainland in the am, and into the h...
