I've got a 5th of Turkey, some vanilla pipe tobacco, a cheese cake, two pet wild hogs, and some dogs to pet. After you stop and eat Brents steak stop by. I'll be in the barn yard waiting.
To modify or not modify???? Why go through all the effort?
We are a very connected bunch. We as Traditionalst most often spend more time with our equipment than we do in the woods so why wouldn't we modify if it gives us some reduced percentage of failure?
It's good for the spirit to modify. It takes my thoughts where they can be free. When I file away at the edge of an El Grande I can feel the cool breeze of the first breaths of Fall. I can smell the rotting leaves of the forrest floor and hear the dew drops as the fall upon the leaves below. I can smell the stench of a nearby buck scrape and I can remain free from the thoughts of all the negativity which surrounds our daily lives. As I draw an arrow from my quiver on opening day I marvel at the time and effort I've poured fourth into this magnificant lifestyle. I look again at the broadhead as I decide to let the buck walk past me today without taking the shot. It's early in the season and I find my time here in the deer woods refreshing and the escape I need from the world that surrounds me. I know too that I am not shooting a 90# bow at thick skinned, heavy boned animals but I do feel that if I can remove the margin of error from that very event I can certainly guarantee that it will be far removed on the deer I intend to shoot. So, should I modify or not modify? I'll let you decide. Afterall, what I do in this sport I do for myself and for the animals I hunt. Good luck in all your hunting endevors! CK
Besides, they just look good when they are modified AND bloodied.
