It amazes me how far a deer can go, and stay alive, after an excellent hit like that. Congrats on a very nice buck and well done on your tracking.

If those are in the area where you lost your buck, you would know if they found him. You'd hear yipping and howling like crazy. In my old hunting area, if you did not find your deer that night they would. And they leave nothing worth saving. They will also devistate your fawn crop in the spring. Can...

I just got some this fall, with my Exocet package. Shot them in multiple targets from bag to the "block". With the inclosed target points and broadheads. No Problems. A lot of the guys like Gorilla glue.

As my wife would say...."You Go Girl" :lol: Good for you! As much as I like hunting from the ground there really is nothing like hunting from "upstairs".

I am really happy for you that you can experience the birds view.

Very nice. I'd be tickled to take a buck like that. I took pics with my deer and my kids from when they were toddlers up. Got em all in a scrap book. Look at it every now and again. Hopefully they will appreciate it in the years to come as now they are all grown up.

Judging deer angles can be a tricky thing. There have been several that when I found them I could not figure out how the arrow went in at that angle. It only takes a body shift to throw lots of things out of wack.

Hope you find the buck.

Question on xbow velocity vs scope accuracy

Here is my question. The new Exocet is rated at 330fps. I imagine that is as it comes with the Excalibur bolts etc... Which weigh about 419 gns with the 150 gn target tips. But I read that people are getting less than 330fps....no problem, I'm not a speed freak. As you all know, the deal with the Va...
