qeu;

was this a rifle hunt?

archery is such a rush, but oh what a disadvantage....

We're still doing 1 rifle hog and 1 archery hog right? :) I wish there was a meat processor closer to home :(.

yeh JN, they will be in my quiver for my next hunt, i shot them yesterday out to forty and its really nice when you do get a batch of heads that are easy to dial in and fly as true as thay claim. and i seen enough photos of bowkills here on jho from are members to see the extreem damage they do! hope i get chance to take a hog out with one on my next hunt with very short tracking and great blood trails!............tra

I've heard a lot of bias reviews about the rage 2/3. I'm gonna have to test them out for myself to see if I like them or not.

there's bias reviews 559 on every archery product that hits the market, to each his own when it comes down to bow tuneing and and bow and shaft set ups, and sights and releases and on and on. i do what best works for my needs as a bowhunter and archer and i am very happy with my bows performance and set up, i like dialing in my own bows, it really doesnt take long at all to dial your sight pins in, just shoot and adjust and you will find the mark! we are alway looking for the next best thing when it comes to hunting and equipment, it never ends for me, even when i feel satisfied with what i have. have a great day and will chat soon...........................tra

So true. I hope my G5 Montecs will work well for me :). I'm going to get a pack of rage 3 blade soon, to see what works best for me.

not so many complaints about the montecs...maybe they fly loud? dunno. TRA is dead-on. for every single bow hunting gear, there is a camp full of people that hate them and a camp that loves them.

i want some two blade rages to shoot at turkeys..and some of those gobbler blades..not the guillotines..

There are some nice mechanicals out on the market that shoot the same as your practice tips. I have some Trophy Ridge Undertakers. I am thinking about upgrading to some Grim reaper razor tips. I don't like the rubberband on the undertakers.

I would not shoot mechanicals I have seen 3 lost pigs with mechanicals. I use Shuttle T locks and have seen good blood and a spine shot that the head went through the spine. They are bone crushers!!!

TRA...while you're there. pick up a pack of 100 gr. slick tricks. save you a trip later.

i shoot them and they have torn up my middle section of my target. i am getting blow thru, cuz all my arrows jack up the same spot. the first time i shot them at 60 yards, it felt like a "hail Mary". then i landed it in the circle. i still wont shoot at live targets at that distance. my nerves dont allow it. hehehe.

i did hit a pig at 30 yards in texas. it looked like a gunshot wound.

Man, has time flown by or what. It's almost time, got my gear all packed, heading to the range next week, some last minute shopping and I'll be good to go.

My buddy is suppose to be hunting with George this weekend, I'll call him on Monday to see how he did.

i hear ya MEL, its going to be great getting away from the daily rat race! i have most of my gear ready to pack and load for the trip and hunt. i am lucky that i am able to step outside my place and shoot out to forty anytime i want, keeping the mind and body intuned with the shooting equipment and always being ready for a hunt. but i really look forward to sharing the weekend hunt with everyone successfull or not.

i am still debating if i want to do a morning hunt at Lake Sonoma that friday before our hunt. i think its the last weekend you can hunt there until next nov...............tra

If I had already registered, I would join you at the lake, but I haven't been there this year. It will be nice meeting everyone and swapping some stories.

TRA, i would love to hunt the lake. but i only have one tag. (i have low aspirations ;)). i always thought i could kill one, then run to big5, for another tag. is there a store nearby, if by divine intervention we nail one?

dang..maybe i should just buy another tag, and quit being so cheap.

Sancho i always have two tags at a time, because around here at the local shops pig tags start getting scarce, my theory is Hatchet buys them all up! good luck on finding a tag my friend!.........tra
