You know in most states true albino is protected an illegal to harvest if wanna know look up the hunting beast he talks about how in his area they allowed hunting of albinos for like one year or two years but ultimately stop the hunt

Best of luck this year with all endeavors, fellas! Early season buck only hunt starts tomorrow in Arkansas and we’re all pumped here! May the sun be at our backs, wind in our favor, and arrows fly true.. That sounded a lot cooler in my head. That’s my bad.

Just got the call today mines ready to ship 😊😊

Good luck with that broad head. Ive been taking deer with a bow for 35 years now, and there's no way Id ever use any kind of 2 blade regardless of the brand or design. I mostly agree with your shot choices, but I will avoid the guts at all cost even with a rifle.

Not a bust imo! U had a few shot opportunities! Good deal!

And ol left sock becomes the hero

Trump 2024’ stop the slandering it’s getting old

No concept of what the big picture is for shooting a heavy arrow, sorry but tests at 15-20 yards so inconclusive, any arrow/broadhead combo hell a field tip will hve no issue going through both shoulders

Bro wtf was that second buck? He had really weird genetics

I’ve shot rage hypodermic for 6 years, using an 80lb Hoyt with a 550 grain arrow and I have NEVER had one fail and the only time one has ever broke is when I got a pass through and it hit a rock in the field.

Fixed bkade is more reliable and thats no question. Blood trails = recovery and exit wound = blood trail. If you hit a shoulder blade or even a rib you get no exit with an expandable, and way less blood comes out of a hole plugged with an arrow. Fixed is waaayyyyy more likely to have an exit wound and an exit wound means more blood trail because two holes. To be fair expandables have a wider cutting diameter by maybe 1" so you can miss the vitals by one additional inch, but if you miss the vitals it's unlikely to recover an animal with either. IMO if you're not pulling 65 lbs or a 450 gain arrow no one should shoot an expandable.

I can’t stand crossbows. Your right it’s a lazy man’s choice

Needs uv film on his windows

Poaching really isnt that serious

A g5 montec would have done better than that crown did

The duck of a deer is also a lot more when their head is down vs head up

7:21 mind went somewhere else

First year bow hunting or 30+ years under one's belt, it's good to mentally review these things in your mind at the beginning of each season. Good stuff!

Theyve destroyed firearms season here in NY. The huge influx of new hunters pressuring state lands and driving deer has made the firearms opener noticeably worthless. Guys will quit hunting when they stop seeing deer. It will never be archery and should be allowed during firearms season only. Or with a disability.

Great video! And great job actually testing the setups. Thanks for providing the recap.

Haven't been frog gigging in years .

The first thing many archers think when they hear FOC is HEAVY ARROW, NOT INTERESTED. Actually, the ASHBY emphasis is on broadheads that can survive heavy bone strikes, improved arrow flight via FOC, using A LIGHTER SHAFT with a HEAVIER POINT. Add the science of the bone splitting performance of a single bevel and your arrow lethality goes up exponentially. The emphasis that Ashby and Ranch promote is to aim at the most lethal part of the kill zone, which is forward in the rib cage crowding the shoulder. This holds the largest blood vessels in the lungs, the heart itself, and the arteries coming off the heart. If you hit here, the deer will go down much quicker, either in sight, or you may hear it go down just out of sight, no blood trail needed. A side plus is that many times these arrow systems will completely pass thru and you get an arrow refund.

FOC isn’t recent, it’s been a crucial part of Traditional bows long before compounds existed and is a critical part of the flight of an arrow as well as its ability to carry energy through and object after impact. Everyone should strive to be a better archer and everyone should tune their bow, just like everyone should take the time to correctly build an arrow.

Nice vid. I do think your "pin gap" demo was a bit flawed though. The "pin gap" demo is really "point of impact" With my setup, if I zero in at 20 my pin gaps are the same out to 35 yards. I shoot a 4 pin site. Past 35 yards and yes, the gap gets bigger but inside 35 I use the same pins. Of course my trajectory is exaggerated but it is still the same pin gaps.

I've bought 4 in the last few years. Bowhunting is a passion of mine. After the war I realized the difference between real weaponry and subpar....Black Widow reigns supreme in every area in the traditional archery world. I will NEVER hunt without my Widow. There is a model for every archer and worth every well spend dime. I have taken numerous deer each year and I can count on my Widow to consistently perform year after year. You will regret not investing in yourself and your passion. These bows PERFORM and are RELIABLE...unbelievable and durable in all weather conditions.

Why aren’t they pass throughs? Is this a 40lb bow?

Definitely inaccurate information

TRUMP. uses other people's money to line his own pockets and then tells the people he needs more money ....and they give it to him ....then he runs to other countries to beg for money for his elections AND IN return for that money trump makes promises to them in return for more money ...then he doesn't report that he got to the IRS

This guy is being setup. They dont care about the truth.

Guts are about the softest part of a deer, I would be shocked if I did not get a full pass through on almost all of these shots you presented. There are so many gimmicky products on the market now. A quality one piece cut on contact is always my choice and the excuse of "they don't fly" is just for those who are too lazy to get out and properly tune the bow and shoot the broadheads. Those thorns look like they would be best left in the 🗑 😂

As a traditional archer, I have been exclusively hunting these similar setups since 2008....actually, worked with Dr. Ashby on a penetration study for Trad Gang in 2011....my typical setups are in the upper 500;s to lower 600 grains with setups from 27% EFOC to 30-% Ultra EFOC....350 gn to 400 gns up front....typically, make 80 to over 100 hunts per deer season...the single bevel penetration is unmatched in my experience however, I still prefer consistent easy to read blood trails. I shouldn't be this way since, I have excellent deer dogs....your video has provided some very useable information to the archery community.

In the middle of the summer your only day light photo was hard horned? In ky and GA bucks down shed until season and that’s not the middle of the summer. Clearly things are different out there

I use vary small fixed blade broadheads . Slick trick original 100grain . I can only fit 3 in it , the spots on the edge , the housing isn’t wide enough . Now it would probably be fine if u use mechanical broadheads.

great video.. I am hunting 4 blade fixed and learned a lot from this video.. Thank you sir I appreciate your sharing your experiences.

God please help us !

Doesn’t the similarity between the buck and the sheds just come down to genetics?

What fixed blade broadhead is that ?

Dude lost me at "theyre not ever together". Ive shot Vortex 2.75in 2 blade and dead riger rampage 2in 3 blades for 15+ years and have literally never had one break or come apart in any way on roughly 30 deer over that time period... To each their own i guess.

@40:05 talking about wide genetics. Me and me cousin hunt public land where we saw several bucks 24” wide and wider. One of them had to be 26-28”.. My cousin shot one that was 24 1/4” outside that I had seen while tracking a buck I shot. We saw one a couple years later that made that blew that one out of the water. As wide as his body was long like Charles Beaty described. But he was smart. And it was in a couple thousand acre area that we saw these bucks. Anywhere outside this area we never saw or heard of bucks like that. There were at least 5 bucks over 24” in that area over the past 5 or 6 years.

Hey guys!! Being a resident in NE is awesome. Love the podcast. Shoot me a DM @weighted_arrow if you guys want some info!!

I’m a plumber around Grand Lake. I saw the sign they made for Christmas. I was hoping she was still alive.

I freaking love when you guys post early. Deer season is almost here. Have a good week guys.

Good morning from NE Georgia!

Arrows do damage by cutting. They aren’t bullets. It doesn’t matter if the arrow pokes right outside the body, or flys 20’ past the animal after going through. The same amount of damage has been done. Keeping your broadhead sharp will do much more for you than increasing the weight if you already have enough for pass throughs.

So this is how to aim at somewhat known distances? If so you have the cart before the horse. More educational is how do you aim at distances within 3-4 yards of actual and compensating between alert and non-alert deer. I'm sure this'll help people explore their technique...most just don't have your experience yet.

Best broadheads don’t

Idc what broad head you use. Never reuse them just replace them and keepem sharp.

Very well explained and presented.
