Great bucks guys!! -
It’s all were you hit them. Were I am hunting the group has a policy of draw blood = done hunting + $200 fine that goes to food plot fund. -
We have found one. The story is the same. Either hunter got excited and tried a quartering-to shot hitting the shoulder with minimal penetration or they are gut shot. The problem with the gut shot ones is there are coyotes everywhere out here and they find them quick. Once jumped out of their bed by the coyotes, there is no blood trail to follow just clumps of hair here and there.

I went on some more deer track calls the past two days. All calls were from Rage broadheads users.

Hunting memes are funny. Here is one..... ”when you see a giant buck but you are already tagged out”

Throw rublines, scrapes and deer trails out the window on gun opener. Put yourself dead in the middle of the property from where everyone else walks in from and let the games begin!

Stay the course Duckman, that deer is 150-160”. A deer of a lifetime.

I am in deer camp in Kansas. The home owner is also a deer search dog owner. While here for 2.5 days, there have been about 15 search requests. ALL of them have been hunters using Rage broadheads. I have gone on two searches at night with him and have given up on both due to lack of sign. The dog is a blue lacy that has coyote bred in. Beautiful dog that looks like a mutt Weimaraner.

I became camp cook.

Greetings from Kansas. Interesting day today. I tagged out walking to my tree stand one hour into the first hunt. Big 9 pointer

Necropsy report from yesterday’s deer. To your point stuff happens with a moving target. My neck entry wound ended up going thru both sides of the opposite front quarter. No way that happens with a mechanical.

Nice

Garrymny, I saw a ton of 1.5 year olds dead on the side of the road on the I-90 from rt. 77 exit to Buffalo during the second and third weeks in October as I traveled to pheasant country. I too have not seen much chasing, scraping and rubbing activity this year either, however, it has been REALLY warm. I think you will see a stark change in the coming days. I have also noticed that the deer are really keying on acorns. I have watched deer feeding for hours under acorn trees on neighboring property, 10' from corn fields. Find the acorns, you find the hub of breeding activity. The buck I got last night came into a grunt call.

There is a discipline needed with expandables. If you watch deer shows on outdoor channel, the outdoor hosts supported by rage, only shoot deer turned broadside. Taking an angled shot you risk glancing off a rib. If attempting a quartering away shot, make sure the arrow hits behind the last rib. I have used both expandable and fixed. I have evolved back to fixed over a decade ago. If I lived out in Kansas or Nebraska taking shots in the wind at distance, I would still be using expandables. Where I hunt is typically near a deer bedroom and shots are angled and less than 30 yards.

Better pic. Looks like 3.5 yrs old. Just past the ears. Slick 8. Came to grunt call. I needed the practice as I am off to Kansas on Thursday.

Done. Unbelievable blood trail.

I am going to need some positive vibes sent my way. I sent an arrow tonight. At the same time the arrow left the bow, the buck that was busy tasting golden rod heads for doe in heat smells, leaned his head back to taste a head to his side placing his neck over his vitals. I believe the arrow went thru his throat patch. First blood looks great and the arrow is still in him. Not sure of hit, I backed out. No threat of rain right now. Going back in two hours.
