I am planning on it. My brother is a biig duck hunter and He has got some friends up around the Currituck area and it is loaded with birds so I definitely want to go!!
Hopefully you will come across one somewhere man....There is no shortage by a long shot where I live....Way to many slick heads lol....I usually take out my share but one person is not going to make that big a dent around here....
Sounds Good Ill!! Either one of those bucks in your profile pic will do just fine for the contest lol!!
Sounds good man!! I hope you have more eye candy on yours than I have had on mine lol.. I like Antler Geeks as well as 15 & Counting....A team name I saw last year that I like was "Afflicted"...That is what I consider myself to be with bowhunting lol....That is cool you do that kind of stuff. I have worked briefly is that field. Last year our team name was the "Tree Rats" and I found a cool pic of a squirrel with a bow and another architect/designer was on our teams and he decked him out with camo and a bandana and made a logo for us to use as our Avatar...It was really cool....
That's a great point and reminder Josh!! Seems like you see it every year on a couple of teams - someone not able to enter their animals because of one thing or another... As Josh mentioned, Two photos are needed (even slightly different angles will work), bow and yourself HAS to be in the picture and to avoid issues, make sure it's the whole deer (not just head/horns/cape)....
Fortunately my hunting partner has been in the contest for a couple years now and he keeps me updated in rules and regulations. My buddy tells me every year there are issues with teammates not submitting everything they need too... hope that's not the case here, don't be modest show off your deer kill, no matter the size, they're all trophys!
Exactly SDH!! There is a rules thread that everyone should check out it you haven't already... Here is a link to it... http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?35483-***-Official-Rules-amp-Contest-Info-2012-Deer***
i like antler geeks or whitetail reaper or 15 and counting for a team name what is everyone useing for broadheads this year i am useing 2 the g5 montec on bear and russain boar and the killzones on deer and fall turkey they both fly the same out of my bow they shoul work good with my 340 fmj arrows
Good question, This year I will be shooting the Easton Injections so my options are limited... for years I shot the Rage broadhead 2 blade and always had good results. I'm leaning towards shooting the 'Deep six, Splitfire max' does any one have any opionions or experience with this broadhead. FYI, I just recently purchased the 'Injections', my first impression is very good... I switched to them because I wanted more penetration and speed and its seems to give me both, they have been blowing through my Glendale Full Rut target when my previous arrow (Easton Flatlines) never came close. The only bummer is that I can't put a 'nocturnal' on em!
NH I am using the Red Head Gators...I have used them for 3-4 seasons now and have been impressed. They have been around awhile. They used to be made by Rocky Mountain but Red Head got them from them...I have shot deer, bear, and turkey with them and they work great. This year 3 different companies came out with similar broadheads including the Killzone...They just flat out work and mechanically make sense...I do like that you can choose a different tip with the Killzones...The Gators are $29 for a 3 pack which is $10 cheaper than most mechanical heads....I have shot a buck and a bear thru both shoulders with them as well and they were still usable.....I am sold on them for now....I have used a bunch of kinds though and as long as you put them in the right spot they will get the job done....
That sucks...Love my Nocturnals lol.... They are some sweet arrows but I just can't swing that much for arrows lol....I would love to try them though.....
Last year I switched from Rage 2-blade to Bloodrunner 2-Blades. I like the Bloodrunners way better then Rage. With the Rage, if you aren't careful the blades come undone from the rubberbands. I also shot two deer with them and never had a clear pass thru. Never had any of those problems with Bloodrunners.
I have used the Rage's before with no problem other than the $$ and them coming open in my quiver...Never had a pass thru problem though.....The reviews for both the Rage and Bloodrunner are terrible...I guess it is just hit or miss with them though. I know people that love them and hate them. The most recent thing I heard was that they whistle in flight...Not sure but I definitely don't want anything that whistles.....Like I said, I know some that like them and some that absolutely hated them....
For my primary bow (Z7), I'm shooting standard muzzy 3 blade broad-heads on Maxima 250 Blue Steak shafts.... Been shooting the Muzzys for years but this is the first year with the Blue Streaks - was shooting Gold Tip 5575's.... Been pretty happy so far, know my setup this year is a lot flatter than previous years. Sure blew threw that goat like nobody's business few weekends ago...
Funny that you mention that they whistle... my buddy was going to shot the bloodrunners last season but didn't after he couldn't get them to stop whistling. I think it has alot to do with your setup and thats why you have so many mixed opinions and results.
