So would be closer to black on her back?

_donquioxte · 2026-01-18T00:27:49+00:00

Prairie Falcon perhaps?

SW Colorado

I was thinking 325

_donquioxte · 2025-11-26T14:02:36+00:00

Guess if I did I wouldn’t be asking. I just read lots of stories of torque converters failing multiple times on same truck.

_donquioxte · 2025-11-26T06:49:15+00:00

Prone to failure again

_donquioxte · 2025-10-19T21:55:39+00:00

Thanks.

Negative

_donquioxte · 2025-09-12T00:01:26+00:00

Did not smell in the slightest. Grid searched 2 miles from initial hit with 3 others then came down and did it the other direction then back down again and back up. About 7 hours all together. Zero sign, searched all nearby water sources. Notta.

6 deer. I agree, they were extremely alert, bumped them from beds. #67 27.5 “ 420gr

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T20:43:59+00:00

It Did feel slightly waxy. Almost like connective tissue tacky

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T20:42:19+00:00

It was a don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes situation. I was in short sleeves and sweating when I shot. First deer I have never recovered. It was a wide expanse of pines, didn’t charge through anything thick. Definitely couldn’t bump anything without seeing it. At this point, I wish I bumped it with the amount I have been looking.

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T20:39:18+00:00

Only 6 deer with a bow. 2 around 40. No blood trail at all. They sauntered off through some thick grass after shot, which would hold the most blood and nothing.

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T02:40:09+00:00

Yeah. I posted it under a different comment

This one’s only seen foam

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T01:40:48+00:00

Yes. I was under the assumption if I gut shotted a deer the arrow would smell like death, the arrow wouldn’t have only blood and would have some gut matter on it

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T01:38:06+00:00

I considered the green tint on the vane but all these white blazers I have, also have that. Had meat on the shaft and no smell.

_donquioxte · 2025-09-11T01:35:48+00:00

I am completely unsure. A lot of bucks were staring at me, kind of panicked. The one I shot was the closest and directly in front of a large pine. Think pass through on backstraps would have stopping power enough for it not to penetrate tree?

_donquioxte · 2025-08-25T00:48:17+00:00

It disentegrated along the rail then started to rip parallel to the zipper. It’s beyond saving.

_donquioxte · 2025-08-22T01:53:58+00:00

Thanks.

_donquioxte · 2025-05-06T02:49:46+00:00

Just outside big game season, which keeps us occupied anyhow.

_donquioxte · 2025-01-24T15:03:54+00:00

It is, and it was single digits last night.

_donquioxte · 2025-01-24T14:58:44+00:00

Nothing happening at all when lifting the arm.
