mofo, Get rid of those field tips and get some hex heads, they wont bury so bad. Watch where your arrow hits then (become the arrow) and you will find them eaisier Denny

Well, bowhunting for rabits and other small game in the snow, is like bow fishing. I mean you wouldn't attempt bow fishing without an attached line to your arrow would you?
If I was bowhunting in the snow, I probably would use the Carbon Express Tracker system where the line is attached to the arrow, and recovery of your arrow is 100%.

I tied wrapping black thread around the back of the feathers opposite of the way the arrow spins. Worked so so. Not really worth the hassle of wrapping all my arrows. Might play around with it some more and see if I can make it work.

Forgot about that one Mudd. See you memory is better than others. Lol! You put chalk line chalk on your fletching and in theory it will leave a chalk mark on the snow where it enters. Seems you might get dusted when you shoot if you use too much I don't know though. If I get time today I will try it out and see.

I taught my dog to find them he's pretty good at it, this will sound a little gross but I drag my fletching thru my armpit to give it a little stink when I'm practicing and my practice "yard arrows" are what I use for small game with judo tips.
the dog finds them in the summer under the lawn when I miss also, its a game for him

Magnus I think I have filled my brain with a lot of trivial information.
It's the important stuff that eludes me...lol Like where are my truck keys, cell phone or glasses...lol
I bet someone out there has already tried this and can give a report.
God bless,Mudd

Lol! I hate it when I'm looking for my glasses and I realize I'm wearing them. I hope some reports on the chalk thing. I'd hate to have to go out it's 6 degrees right now

Got a winecork made of rubber, drilled a 7mm in center about half way in and pushed it over a 125gr field point on a flu flu. The flat surface helped to stop The arrow digging to deap in The snow, shoot straight out to 10-15m and packed a good punch, from 10m i shoot it into The arrow block and it penetrated about an inch, might work on a bunny. The home made blunt and bright red fleching made it easy to find The arrow compared to a ordinary flu flu with fieldtip, that needed some digging to retrive.

I have used lots of carpenter's chalk but not on arrows, I think it would work but don't use red. That stuff is a pain to get off everything and of course don't use white.

Funny stuff! Dont give up man. The only thing more satisfying than a full game bag after a bunny hunt is an empty quiver after a bunny hunt.
