Mathews Report post Posted November 22, 2011 I hope you are successful also! Let me know how it goes...I am no hunter extraordinaire but I can give you this advice: GO LOW! Right on man! Ive got a late tag aswell, but have yet to get a shot < 80 yards. Hopefully I'll have a success story to share after this weekend Tag soup for me brotha.. Stuck one Saturday quartered away, 50 yards, hit right where I wanted, but barely any penetration. Blood stopped after a few hundred yards, bumped him 3 times after that, finally gave up... Never gonna use those broadheads again.. Had quite a few chances after that, but some VERY bad luck left me with nothin to show for. Sorry To hear! You still have another week though. Can you now go out because of school!? Nah ends Thursday, gotta work the rest of the week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you now go out because of school!? Nah ends Thursday, gotta work the rest of the week First off, Congratulations on an awesome, successful hunt HD55 and thanks for sharing it with us. If either of you don't mind, I'd be interested to find out what your choices of broadhead were. At least whether fixed or mechanical if you don't want to mention specific brand. For the record it's also tag soup with my 4b late archery hunt. Got lots of bulls on game camera, from 9 pm thru 3 am, but absolutely zilch during shooting light. My hunting partner had a 7X7 at 20 yds from his blind but was prevented from taking the shot due to a twig (from his brushing in efforts) that covered the vitals. He had to letdown and something during that buggered the bull and he watched it trot off. That was one of only two bulls we saw in the late evening. I walked up on the other as I was leaving my blind one evening after I called it too dark to shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
