I approach it as a matter of the more you do the greater the reduction in chances of detection, although the return on the effort diminishes at each step. I tend to break it into 2 parts - 1) keeping scent out of their nose and 2) decreasing my overall scent profile. #1 is far more important...

I agree with others. You are dropping your bow arm. Tuning may be an issue as well but is probably less so. Any mistake will be greatly exaggerated at long distances.

Fellers - historically I have only been able to hunt the first week of November due to other fall commitments. I have finally reached the point where I can hunt before the rut and wanna hear what your favorite tactics are for putting down a slob in October. Thanks in advance for all replies!

FWIW - I shoot a 200 grain single bevel broadhead with a total arrow weight of 652 grains on a 67 lb draw weight and FOC around 22-25% (can't remember precisely)...no idea what my arrow speed is but I have had a pass through on every animal I have shot since I switched to heavy arrows...that...

Kinetic energy is useful in ballistics because tissue damage is inflicted by deposition of energy from the bullet. Broadheads, however, need to cut to kill, which is different from depositing energy. Therefore, they need momentum to carry them through the animal (which is the product of the...

This is a fantastic looking spot. Assuming the field to the SE is feeding area, E or NE wind would be best for morning or evening hunts. Prolly could pull it off during mid day as well, although that would not be perfect (W or NW would be best at that time of day). What I really like is the...

Innocent until proven guilty.- No kidding! Read the article people; totally one sided and speculative. Zadick is a taxidermist, which could easily explain some of the reported findings.
