Don't want to get overly technical, but probably applicable to the Texas Deer hunt... How heavy did the Trad Lites weigh in at? As compared to your regular Trad Heavys...

great stories guys

Terry Green · January 13, 2012, 11:07:00 PM

508 Jeff vs 580....508 moving at 183ish is NO PROBLEM for deer anywhere in the country as you well know.

My heavier lites were about 560....with WWs and No Mercy 4 blades.

Very similar to the setups I use there... 480 grain arrow Magnus 1 and Delta 4-blades out of my 60# Shawnee. Haven't had a shot there yet that didn't have 2 holes...

Anyway, back to the hunting!

All I can say is.WOW.This sure looks like a special hunt.Congratulations to all the successful hunters.Nice job on the hogs Izzy.Nice doe Curt. I think that your special broadhead would qualify for frequent flier miles!

Great stories, I cannot help but notice David seems to have dropped a few pounds, looking slim and fit.

Terry, that's my first experience of seeing a higher exit then an entrance hole! Gotta be a hyper doe!!

Great story guys! I'm going to have to make one of these hunts in the future. If business allows me to leave the shop.

LOL

Good stuff fellas. Congrats Curt and terry, its clearly evidedt that Chris's spirit is strong on that ranch. Heck I was wearing his wool gloves when I killed my animals.

Really missing Texas right now.

Awesome stuff guys! Very cool!

drewsbow · January 14, 2012, 08:46:00 AM

Awesome stories and shooting sounds like everyone had a great hunt, congrats to you all. Drew

Terry and Curt a big congrats on the parallel does. The mojo hat switch was special link as was Chris' link.

Curt I think that stand might have been the first one I sat on my trip. David does have some stands that require a bit of monkey in the shooter.

Nice job by both of you on reading the deer and adjusting the point of aim.

lpcjon2 · January 14, 2012, 08:53:00 AM

Terry and Curt you guys tell a heck of a story,the flip flop play by play kept me on the edge of my seat last night. Congrats to both of you.

Its pretty amazing how low those deer duct down.

wapiti792 · January 14, 2012, 09:29:00 AM

Well told, well written. Had me on the edge of my seat with goosebumps the whole way! Way to go men, way to go.

Fritz · January 14, 2012, 09:38:00 AM

Great story telling! Congrats on the "wired" does, Curt and Terry!

Margly · January 14, 2012, 09:45:00 AM

Congrats

Great storytelling

Congratulations to Terry, Curt, Michael, Izzy, Carlton and anyone else I've missed who got a critter after I left. And congratulations again to those who scored before I left.

Terry's absolutely right - this hunt is vastly more than the critters - it's an amazing experience and one that at least I want to repeat as soon and as often as possible.

I sure hope it's an omen for the whole year - if the rest of the year is anywhere near that much fun it'll be the best one ever.
