bone-collector,
I was using 100 grain Thunderheads, I will never use mechanicals on anything, to many things to fail( like 1899 said), and with moose, you need every bit of penetration :lol:

well 
, my mechanical didnt fail but the rock I bounced it off of sure bent the hell out of the blades , oh and the moose runned away laffing at my dumb ass for misjudging distance , and I couldnt get in range of his partner tonight, tommorow is a new day and YES I have changed over to the wasp 125Gr broadheads (thanks guys) this is the first time I have ever atempted bow hunting so I didnt expect to be great at it......... tikka T3 300 win mag woulda dropped both bulls in there tracks though :lol: (and my blood presure would have stayed low :lol: )
but we did see 9 moose (2 bulls) 13 mule deer and 2 bears in about a hour and half tonight and its only day 1 :wink: :twisted:

I hope so :lol: , the sound of TWANGGGGGGGGGGGGG as it bounced off rocks was a painfull money wasting sound indeed :lol:
My friend in PG shot a Grizzly a few years ago and wanted a live mount. I told him I was headed towards an archery only zone and knew where a little spike buck lived that would look perfect with his live mount. So off I go, and on the last day of my three day hunt I get the little fellow lined up. In the excitement of my prowess I used the wrong sight pin (I have one for 20 yards and one for 40) and watched my bolt fly harmlessly over his back. Now there was a dumbass move! And he was so close, about 15 yards, that I thought it was a sure thing. :roll:
