    Augurcast it happens, that’s why I’m not a fan of mechanical heads, (fear of not opening) If I were to shoot mech type heads it would have to be like a hybrid. That slice is gnarly from the gravedigger!!

    My next choice is going to be a 4 blade I tried the kill zones and the first one I shot it destroyed it..the damage from that gravedigger looks gnarly. The hammerheads usually do good but this new bow has so much more power than my other. I went fro a pse rogue MF to pse prophecy. 317 to 340 it's just awsome.

    I had to rebuild it cause the guy who had it dry fired it..in his words " like a moron" turns out the new hybrids don't do well with that. Had to put a new cam, limbs and pins and bushings. And then built new strings.did all the work myself ...what a bow

    I don't like the 4 blade cause you lose a lot of the penetrating power. I think the 2 blade is the best. Just my opinion though.

    We are doing good. I'll be out this weekend. I hope to see a good buck as I can't shoot does here. If i dont get to go to the lease I'll be looking for a mule deer.

    I switched to Slick Tricks Magnums six years ago after bad experiences with a mechanical broadhead. Give those a look if you want a fixed blade. I have killed 10 deer with those and only had two rough recoveries, both my fault with bad shot placement.

    Rage 2 blade here. I've used them ever since they came out and they make huge holes and I've never had 1 fail yet.

    I use the Hyperdermics but I did have a buddy who broke one in half from one of my stands.



    Woulda been a great deer, he was at least 6 years old and although he lived at least a week after this shot based on cameras we never found his body and he never showed back up. Had a huge pussy gash in his neck too.

    Saw 2 deer right as it was to dark to shoot I think they bedded down 60 yards from my stand. Had to wait till dark to move out not bust them off. Also as I was sitting I thought I saw buzzers not sure what they were on...to early to be my deer....or maybe not. Check tomorrow. As well as clear a ground blind for my kids to start hunting out of. Both of those big boy go right by it. Perfect cover. It's an old A frame chicken coupe someone built long time ago and it's still has mat all on the roof and the deer are used to it. Can wait.

    Had 2 small bucks pass right by me this morning so far. Saw 2 deer as well. One was a doe and the other was either a doe or small buck, not sure.
