I've been using my gopro but the damn batteries last 2 hours at best so do you start recording when you get in there or when you're leaving? Wish mine was running when I took the shot. Maybe could've learned something.
I looked a bit last night. I'd want a gopro (or knockoff--china has ome good ones on amazon) with slow motion, make sure you have a lighted nock or else you will not see the arrow. I'd turn it on as deer approach. As long as I'm not nodding off in my stand I always see them coming with enough time for that.
This is not true. Studies have shown that recovery rates for bow, xbow, and gun are actually pretty similar (you think gun hunters don't make bad shots?--the fact we even need hunter orange is because many of them are just stupidly shooting at whatever the heck large mass is moving around with little attention to proper shot placement), and studies have also shown that harvest rates are wildly heavy in gun. Most people do not bother bow hunting; it really does not impact availability of deer during gun by a large extent.
I had though of popping it on only when needed but it makes a loud beeping sound when you turn it on, one for every mode you need to scroll through, and one for starting the filming. Guess hunters weren't consulted during design phase.
Pretty sure they are lumenok. I found they were cheaper to buy for $40 I believe for three on top of 3 of the decimator bolts from dicks sporting goods last year than buying them separately. I'm not positive they are same brand but I think so.
Yea I do hunt bow, crossbow, gun and muzzle. Been at it since I was a kid now a year away from 50.
I dont think you can classify bow hunters as a whole by the actions of a few. Irresponsible hunters can be found hunting all seasons and all types of game. Being a conscienscious hunter is what you do when no one is looking. Leave it like you found it. I think classifying bow hunters as "bad shots" is a pretty broad statement. I took my first ever shot at a deer, in my first bow season, and I'm one for one so far.
Bullshit.
I already tried to disabuse you of this. Studies have been done. I recall archery recovery rate is about 80%. I still recall my neighbor telling me about a deer he had to track into a stranger's yard and cut its throat on their lawn. That was after a slug from his 12 gauge.
lol So in 1957 they were wounding less than 10% of the deer they hit with bow? I actually have a proper article but now I don't want to post it. I find your graph too interesting to distract us from.
I would love to have that buck I lost come in front of me.
But how would I have found him? He was clotting up and trail was dying. I don’t believe I bumped him but if I did he would otherwise have rested and lost no further blood.
