I'm not sure if Roy has speared any bears lately or not. He sure has some awesome adventures. Roy joined the board of our local SCI chapter about a year and a half ago. He is an amazing force as an ambassador for hunting and our community.
Getting young people out in the field hunting is one of the most important things that we hunters can do to preserve our heritage, traditions, and populations of game.
I am thankful to have the opportunity to teach hunter education on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. In my capacity as a school...
What is the best solution for quiet clothes for kids to wear while hunting? Almost all winter snow pants and coats are ridiculously loud while walking or anytime the fabric rubs together.
My kiddo is 6 and an excellent hiker and pretty patient hunter. We've been after a cow moose, but no dice...
I've been on one moose hunt by horseback...well, my buddy and stuff was on horses. I hiked in, but it was great. We took horses in about 10 miles and made camp. We day hunted from there.
A lot of moose hunts you wont see a ton of moose, but it only takes one. Like a lot of hunts, being patient...
I took a nice bull with a 168gr ttsx from an '06 last year near Delta. There was full penetration from about 190 yards. The bullet stopped just under the hide on the opposite side.
I shot one coyote with a 55gr hp varmageddon last winter. It had a .223cal sized entrance and no exit. I was thinking about picking up some tipped ones as they have been available at SPS...but idk.
Welp, looks like the Easton shaft selector indicates 400s, 390s, or DF9.5. Archers Advantage agrees. Because we don't have an actual speed to calibrate from, its likely that the 400 spine arrow build is even stiffer that what is shown below...
I quit building arrows based on "the charts" 20...
Loots of good suggestions here. Ultimately, you need reasonable arrow with a broadhead that you shoot well.
The first moose I shot was with a PSE radial x-weave and an 85gr ABC Sonic. I would not choose that combo, but its what I had at the time. The shot was a complete pass through both lungs...
If you can, I would swap those 340s for 400s. 340s are likely really stiff for your setup.
I've had great performance with 125gr G5 Strikers and Blazers on the back end of axis arrows.
Folks should be proud to enjoy the mystical flight of the arrow in the circumstance that life finds them. They shouldn’t worry about pious pronouncements of worthiness.
Saxton Pope had this to say:
“ Yet these are not the reasons why we shoot the bow: we do it because we love it, and this is no...
Here on the Kenai archery big game ranges in size from black bear to moose. I took my first shot with a broad head this year at this antelope from 70 yards. It’s just a touch back but I don’t think he’ll go too far...
