I don't think Nevada is worth it. There are so many other great options for hunts that offer great experiences but you can count on more. There is some great whitetail hunting to be had in some of the southern states. I think it can get overlooked sometimes and provides an excellent experience...
Something that you are confident in the flight and accuracy of is the #1 consideration I would say. I think as a general rule fixed blades are going to afford you more penetration and expandables are going to cut a bigger hole but not penetrate as much. There can certainly be complete pass...
Be sure you are shooting with your quiver off of your bow too for the lowest amount of vibration. Arrows in a quiver can vibrate during the shot and cause additional noise.
I have been all the way down the rabbit hole and back on high FOC heavy arrows with single bevel broadheads (Iron Wills). My conclusion is that whether you should use them or not DEPENDS... There are so many factors that play into your decision to go with higher FOC and single bevel heads. I...

Scent control practices are always to be secondary to playing the wind. Even with ozone, scent eliminating sprays, detergents, and scent free storage, I just don't think you can beat a deer's nose if the wind is wrong. Your body continues to function and produce volatile organic compounds that...
I've been working on losing 10 pounds and really improving my lungs and leg strength before September! I hate them, but I have been incorporating 100 yard sprints and some suicides in my gym parking lot after my strength work. I have seen some progress with my endurance building even after just...
I'm in for archery elk in New Mexico! Shot for the stars really with all three choices, really. I have been twice on private land but would love the chance at a DIY hunt in the rut. New Mexico has some cool country and is so diverse as a state with the habitat types. Fingers crossed!
Commercial big ag has no business dictating wildlife agency decisions. I think it's pretty well established that experts (wildlife biologists) should be informing management decisions through the state wildlife agencies. Scary stuff.
