bigbuckfever Report post Posted September 20, 2020 I've heard that white gas lanterns work better for trailing blood in the dark. The blood kinda glows with it. Worth a try if nothing else is working Best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would a broad head really make that much of a difference? Montec G5 seems pretty standard classic fixed. Anyone got a recommendation?? I did research on here when I changed broadheads. Slick trick comes highly recommended. I'm running the magnums. G5 did too but like I said, you have to verify that they are sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would a broad head really make that much of a difference? Montec G5 seems pretty standard classic fixed. Anyone got a recommendation?? More to do with the angle than the broadhead. My recommendation is take nothing but a broadside to quartering away shot with a bow. People will crucify me for saying that. I know tons of animals are killed every year quartering to or frontal, but that is my rule. I killed a bull in 2013 that I watched come toward me from 100 yards. Stood in a wallow tearing it up 27 yards away, walked to me to less than 10 yards...never better than quartering to. I actually said to myself "Is this really going to happen? Is he going to be this close and I don't get a shot?" I waited and was blessed when he got nervous and jumped. Stopped quartering away at 25 yards. Dead bull. Just my personal rule. I would rather lose an opportunity than wound an animal. Crucifying commence. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would never trust a paid Endorsement Maybe I got played then I guess, like the guy and just didn’t think about that. I don’t use them myself but have heard him mention them and they were relevant to this story in some way so tossed in my comment. Don’t anyone reading this use montecs, they don’t work due to sponsoring Remi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delw Report post Posted September 21, 2020 Picking a broad head is like picking a brand of vehicle, most of the haters dont like them cause of there f'ups, or the animal getting away easy to blame a brand. lots of pigs elk and deer were killed in Arizona using the old stamped 3 blade sheet metal $1 each broad heads with alum arrows for the simple reason they were cheap and you could fix them when they hit rocks with a file Personally I use grime reapers cut on contact, cause the name sounds morbid and packaging and broad head the look sexy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too much armor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OpticNerd Report post Posted September 21, 2020 That quartering to you is one tough shot. From what you described I would think it should be a dead bull. As far as the bh goes like a lot of others Ive heard numerous horror stories about Montecs and elk even witnessed 2 myself. Anytime an animal doesn't die right away the bh seems to be the first and easiest to blame. I will say this you put a Montec through an elk heart he'll die every time pretty sure double center lung it's dead everytime as well. I think a lot of these horror stories are do to not so great shot placement. Crazy story about that bull you called in. Must have been quite the rush. There's nothing like calling in a big ol bull. Good luck on the rest of the hunt and finding your dads bull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
