Attention all bowhunters... Important information.
« on: October 07, 2017, 08:30:00 PM »
That's right! Very important information. I'm talking about your information from your successful hunts.

Trad Gang is like the Encyclopedia (everybody knows what that is... right?) of bowhunting knowledge. Help us all learn by giving us the important information about your harvests.

1. A picture is always nice. If you can't manage it someone on here will post it for you.

2. Run down your equipment... Brand of bow, it's draw weight, length, type of arrow and brand of broadhead w/number of blades.

3. How much penetration you got and what organs were cut. (you do poke around doing a post mortem, right?)

4. Distance of it's last run, was the blood trail copious or sparse.

5. Distance of shot.

By doing this we can build a reference for all to use. I believe we are all hungry for these details.

Thanks guys and good hunting whatever your game is.    :archer:

Opening morning here in Indiana.

1. Sorry no pics.

2. Tradgang bow swap recurve from 2012 from Jess Stuart. 47# at 27". Carbon blem, Ribtek 190.

3. Passed through and stuck in log.  Double lung.

4. No run as it was impaled on the arrow.  It did bark a bit.  Much blood.

5. 18 ft. from the ground while stillhunting.

Oh yeah, it was a squirrel  :)
Take a kid hunting!

Brand new Jason Kendal Kanati Longbow. 60lb@30", 185 Gr grizzly single bevel, 75 grain adapter, 50 grain insert, 340 easton axis. The deer was angling away steeply, the arrow struck too far back in the rump, missed the femoral artery but angle forward and exited on the opposite side ribs. The deer traveled along a creek bed  for about 1/4 mile and piled up on along side the stream.  There was almost no blood on the ground that I could find.

Charlie you got that right, details, details, details!

Conversation with wife...

Wife: You'd hear Jess had her baby.
Me: Boy or Girl?
Wife:  A little lass
Me: Wt. and length?
Wife: I don't know I didn't ask.
Me:  Woman you need to learn to get more information!

What's the general consensus of putting it in pow wow and in the highlights? I just posted mine in the 2017 Highlights only. Saw no need to eat up more bytes of data in two spots. Especially since everything is being converted.

Good points.  My hunting time the last few years has been very limited so I depend on reading about others hunts to get my fix.  Details are important.

I guess I should add one of my own... I haven't downloaded my photos yet so I don't have one of those.

I shot a small doe a couple of weeks ago. The shot was 20-25 yds. The was a 62" Sunbear recurve, 50# @28, 2018 Aluminum shaft, 4.75 inch 4 fletch 75x105, Magnus Buzzcut 4 blade 150 gr.
Arrow centered both lungs and was stopped by offside shoulder.
The blood trail was OK but tall grass made it more  difficult than it should have been. I'd say she ran about 70-80 yards

Charlie...are you looking for retro pics as well or just moving forward?

Also, are you asking for the details to be in the members own hunt thread or post the details here in this thread....Just checking ....

Had'nt thought about it T. Originally I thought it would be in the member's own hunt thread, but it might work better if posted here... or both places as long as the info gets posted.

I wondered that too, might change the thread name and sticky it at the top with the shot selection stuff?

Just thinkin, and that's risky for me!  :p
Stay sharp, Kenny.

That might be the ticket Kenny! Call it the "TradGang Lethality Study" or something like it.

Noticed I didn't answer all of T's post... past or present kills doesn't matter as long as the details are complete.
