I am thinking about trying the BuckBlaster Broadheads from TrophyRidge.
Does my phoenix have enough KE for me to use them and get a passthrough?It has a 2-3/4 inch cutting diameter and is fixed head with expandable in one head...whats your thoughts?

I do no calling until october25 and on..last year in our area we seen many bucks chasing and breeding does around the last few days of October throught the first week of November..I just hunt a food source this early in the season....

Dont shoot it anymore until the limb is replaced.....It could make things worse

Darn nice buck ya got there...Congrats.

I have hutned this property for 4 years and have not seen 1 coyote..or heard one for that matter.They are probably around but ive never seen them......I think im gonna switch to fixed heads now becasue what if it would have hit even higher than it did and hit the spine?expandable versus spine might ...

all this is good to hear and makes me feel a little better guys......His tail/back half was the only thing I could see when he stopped to look around to figure out what happened.His tail was flickering like he was nervous then after about 30 mins before he walked off and it was calm.I couldnt get an...

maby that happened..Im not sure.I should have aimed a tad low since he was so close and I was 25 feet up but didnt htink about it at the time....

Well I just got back from searching in a light rain..I picked up where I marked my last blood and searched and found nothing.We did a complete search of about 350 yard circle around where I found blood last and nothing...I think bstout is correct..I think I hit him between the lungs and spine though...

this was no gut shot..that im sure of..the bood was bright red and bubbly. I figured I got one lung or something or hit him a touch hight because i was 25 feet up??......he was standing there with his legs spread out like...like he was having trouble breathing..you could tell he was hurting.....im g...

I went hunting this evening around 4 pm.It was very windy and I hadnt planned on seeing much and at around 6:45 I look to my left and see a rack moving in the brush...he comes out into the bean field and turns and heads right to me...19 yards I maaaa to get him to stop,pull the trigger,and watch him...

same here in Ohio today..gusting right now in 25-35 mph.I really wanted to hunt this evening but wasnt sure if the deer would bemoving in high winds???Its very cool here too now....

you'll get him next time

how much will my impact point drop?..any estimates??On their website it says they are 29 grains...Maby they wont effect the POI that much and I can leave the scope like it is???

It really didnt take that much heat..I maby held the lighter on it for 10-15seconds while I rotated the arrow to heat evenly.I dont think it hurt the arrow any because I used my bare hands and did not get burnt so I doubt it hurt the arrow.I actually didnt melt/burn the wrap..just blackend it.I can ...

Nice Doe!Congrats....Looks like a pretty good sized one to me
