Deer hunting?

SSM - use a 2" grim reaper white tail razortip broad head. If you place it around the front shoulder, your not going to have to track it too far. I use those on hogs and white tail and they run for about 50-70 yards and drop. Sometimes not even that far. I would like to add, don't gut shot anything. It's unethical hunting and frowned on from the hunting community. Happy hunting and be safe.
I prefer camouflage and face paint but whatever works best for you. Originally Posted by SweetSensualMichelle

More advice....if you are going to bow hunt from an elevated position....you need to practice shooting from that position....at a real target. (even if your sight compensates)

Trust me....
Bow, then a Muzzle loader, then a rifle.

I mostly hunt with a bow.
I only carry out the bang-stick if it's late in the season and my freezer ain't full yet.
Mmmmm....backstrap...almost time!

Hunting for food is fair game and I love venison chili but this scene really opened my eyes as a lad. Life changing experience based on the transference of pain.

Russ I knew of that but I don't disagree with you on the Karmic justice piece.
I've heard this debate between bow and rifle hunting come up many times.
I always use this analogy.
Imagine you are walking thru the woods and you are going to die with in the next few min.
A. Would you rather be shot with a bow and run off and bleed out.
B. Would you rather be shot with a rifle.
My choice would be B. My last year hunt ended with my 55gr FMJ at 3150fps (and yes this was with my chronograph) placed just below the skull. Ray Charles didn't even have to look for this one.
It is a horrible thing to have an animal run off and never find it.

Both options are fun , exciting & affective ....
Where a bow is close range and intense, there are a lot of lost animals because they run off and bleed out , never to be found

I prefer a rifle , 200-300 yards .... the challenge is a head shot on a doe for meat , or a neck shot on a buck to save the mount

Happy hunting ..... Give a report on your kill ..

Hunters should never criticize one method over another.
I am open to whatever is legal.
Don't give the anti hunters ammunition.
Without managed, license paying hunters, most game species would be extinct.
Stick together, bros.

I agree, archery first and foremost. But after spending time with Michelle, I can verify that she is a great pistol and rifle shot. And if she uses similar basics, she would hold her own with a bow. She made my black rifle look sexy!
