Which one are you using, the Razor Tip or Razor Cut? I went to a video screen shoot the other night and shot pretty well. I love that stuff. I heard the Grim Reaper mentioned a couple of times during our conversations. I like the Spitfires and they have no o-rings either, again, its a blood trail thing. I think I have made up my mind to try Razor Cut Grim Reapers in either 85 or 100gr/ 1" 3/4" cut. I should probably stay with the 85's so I won't have to adjust too much. That ought to put blood on the ground. I will tell you how it works out if I kill. Thanks.

I have friends whom have every color imaginable in their boat as far as tubes. Its a waste of money and space, trust me. I will probably get busted in the nose for saying this but, if you come to Maryland or PA and you want to use a few colors here is all you need, period. 1. Day in and day out the number one is Green Pumpkin ( I like red flake in mine). 2. Dark Melon/ Purple Flake. 3. Smoke/Purple Flake 4. Green Pumpkin/Smoke Purple Tail. You would actually do well owning only two colors for your trip, Green Pumpkin and Dark Melon. I also don't use small tubes for the smallies, no matter what I hear at the ramp, I always use the big salty tubes in both 3 1/2 an 4". There I said it, I feel better now. ;D

LOL, I am one of those guys whom screams color does not matter that much, and I really think its a lighter or darker color for the conditions that really makes the difference but, lol, if my tube for smallies is green pumpkin or black, it had better have red flake in it or I just don't feel right, same with my dark melon needs purple flake and smoke needs purple flake, lol. I only use these four colors. Does it make a difference?, probably not, but, like I said, I just don't feel right without these flake color combo's,lol.

In Fisherman Inside Line Bassin I still love Field and Stream, if you fish and hunt its been one of the best magazines around for decades.

I will miss you Muddy,as I enjoy your post. I know how you feel though. I have had a few similar incidents. Only a couple of real bad ones though, where someone got my personal email and just pounded me. Other than that its only been some different opinions and light head butting, nothing major. Take a break, get a deep breath and come back soon, you will be missed.

Check out the Team Allstar 6'6" 8-17 line rating spinning rod. You will like it and the price is great.

Avid and Muddy. You guys are true gentleman not jumping on that after considering there was a young girl involved. I did the same thing, as I suspect you guys might have, when I saw the age of the young fellow whom posted this " Inflatables ?????, Anyone use them ? ",lol. Man, these young un's are ruining our sthtick !!!,lol. My hands were on the keys like a horse in the gate at Pimlico.

If the horses legs are all up in the air it means the man could touch his elbow with his tongue and the neighbor ladys husband shot him. ;D

Yes Speedbead, you are right. At that yardage a bow like mine is going to do damage. My concern is blood trails. I hunt mostly in the evening and I like plenty of blood because most of the bucks I have killed have been right at dark. Thank goodness for my blue lighted site pins,lol. We have some new people that moved on my road that outlaw and the bucks are skittish. I have been in the stand as much as possible the past three weeks in the evenings ( da** bugs and mosquitos) and have been seeing four different bucks coming by me pretty regularly. Two scrubs and a nice big bodied 8pt. He has been traveling with another rack buck I just can't get a good look at. I can see horns, still in velvet of course but, he looks to me like a bigger bodied buck. I saw a doe last week right at dark that had both hind quarters snow white. I thought it was somebodys goat coming toward me at first,lol. Man, we have tons of does here this year. Its ridiculous. MMMMMMMM, deer roast covered in Liptons French Onion Soup Mix used like a dry rub, baby red potatoes, Shitaki mushrooms simmered in butter, and mustard greens layered under and around the roast with a couple of hamhocks thrown in served with Alice White Shiraz wine. Desert, cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries.

I have seen these but, never bought them. How deep do they run on the retrieve in the water column?, and can you burn them while still staying upright and not running all Helter Skelter?

Dude, that is insane!!!!! ;D I wonder if I could ride that baby on one of the old car tire tubes we float down the creek behind my house with. Six Corona's and I think I would give it a shot.

I hear you Catt. Old school probably still puts tenderloin in the pan. Man, 145gr's is heavy. I imagine penatration is no problem. I like the carbon arrows and the speed. Does it matter, probably not. I never shoot over 25 yards anyway. In fact, most of my shots here at the house are aroung 12-18 yards. I know by the distance of the trees when a deer comes through because I measured them. I am a big believer in the old school broadheads. They penatrate like, right now, with no mechanics involved. I have not had a problem with them opening, and the deer rarely go over 30 yards, in fact some of them take 5 or 6 steps and are down and dead. I am concerned with the light arrows and planing. I think I will go to a 100gr Steel Force and see how it goes. I would think at my bow speed and a old school fixed head 100gr, the arrow will go clean through, what do you think, more damage, better blood?

Great Answer from Florida Sheriff!!! As reported earlier this week, some dirt bag who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit the guy 68 times. Now here's the kicker: Naturally, the media asked why they shot him 68 times. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel - "That's all the bullets we had." (Talk about an all time classic answer!!!)

LBH, great name " Dumpster ". He looks like a bruiser with a tude,lol.

Good one !!!, you are on a roll !!!

Great pic. Yes, thats why I love smallies. they have bad attitudes, lol.

Info about " The Rage " broadheads in three blade. There was a recall on the three blades from March 6, 2007---May 31st. Here is the link. http://www.ragebroadheads.com/

What was a box turtle doing in the water? Are you sure it wasn't a Painted Turtle? '

Getting my strenth back and ready for bow season. I am thinking of going back to fixed blades, why?, I am not sure other than I had some problems with blood trails a few times. I average two a year with the bow. No, not all bucks, I eat deer meat all year long and make my own bolona, chipped, jerky, etc. To the point. I have used Spitfire Mechanical three blades in 85gr now for about three years. I have only lost one deer but, I am not happy about the blood trail. I used Steel Force 100gr before and XX-75 aluminum arrows. I have since changed over to Carbon Force Express in 4560's. My PSE is fast and I was concerned about losing the accuracy I have with what I am using now. Its awsome and dead on. I am thinking of going to a Muzzy MX-4 in 100gr. They are a lower profile fixed blade and I heard good things about them. I know, why fix it if it isn't broke? Have any of you stuck a whitetail with these broadheads and if so did you get a good blood trail?, and, how are they on carbon shafts and a fast bow. I am set up at 70lbs and shooting about 295-305. Please Matthews fans, don't hit me about my PSE !!!, lol. P.S.- PSE fans, check out the new Firestorm X, the bow monkey is calling me !!! http://www.pse-archery.com/prod.php?k=55445&u=0756NX

Look for subtle changes in all those pads. Maybe a change in depth, some wood or pads in a little area by themselves. Something that works anywhere there are pads is Flippin and Pitchin a Junebug, Green Pumpkin or my favorite for this method a Black/Red Flake 4" Tube with a pegged 3/16oz bullet sinker and a 4/0 Gammy G-Lock hook. Good luck.
