      This buck was full of ticks. It is worth it.

        Not to change the subject, but we are talking about heavy arrows and distanc here, so I figured this is okay. I just shot a mule deer buck here in Utah last night at 45 yards. I am shooting a 56lb Wes Wallace Mentor with a Gold tip arrow and a Eclipse head. The arrow punched through both shoulders like it was nothing! The deer had the same ” shock” type reaction as when you see them get hit with a rifle. I am a firm believer in heavy arrows. Mine weigh 633 grains with 28% EFOC. That arrow hit the buck like a freight train.

          My dad does it all of the time out here in Utah. Muledeer just wander around alot during the rut, so he will get on some fresh tracks and start walking. It works! I did somewhat of a “tracking/still hunting” technique to take this late season Muledeer doe. Check out the buck I just took last night on the 2009 utah Muledeer post.

            Good luck tommorow. I would take a over an under just in case!

              I am not sure why or how this even came about, but my lab has a knack for finding lost arrows. I was “clump” shooting on some grassy foothills for the lack of “stumps” in the area, I underestimated the distance and sent my legacy 2016 into a neverending sage brush flat. As if on cue, my Labrador gave me a funny look and then off he went tail wagging. A minute later he returned with my arrow, he dropped it at my feet and went about his business. I wiped the slobber off of the feathers and returned shooting. He will randomly do this sometimes, I guess he feels the need to earn his keep sometimes:D

                I was thinking that, but I hate to leave him home. Plus my waders have a hole right in the crotch. That’s my reasoning for a retrieving dog. I know you probably shoot flu flu arrows, but what type of points do you use? Dove season here starts Sept 1st, but I can barely hit them with my over and under, let alone my stick bow. I will keep in touch and try and get a picture with a webbed foot. Best of luck CP

                  How about “Base Camp”, New Beginnings or Sticks and Stones.
                  I think this a great idea.

                    I havn’t tried it yet, but I was planning on it come October. I just wondering what to do if my arrow stays in the bird. I would hate to think what could happen with my Labrador and an arrow? Plus, my lab will give me the ” where is the over and under” look when we head out to jump shoot!
