Mississippi Traditional Record

164 3-8” 6 x 5 Magnolia Monarch – “I was only 8' up in my tree and he walked right under me. At 15 yards out, he stopped perfectly broadside and I let it loose. The arrow disappeared at impact but it was a little high and back. Even with that arrow placement, I wasn't too worried. He was pumping out a serious amount of blood as he ran out of sight.

I gave him some time and then got down to recover the arrow. From where my arrow made contact, I turned on my GPS and started tracking. It quickly became evident that I was tracking three separate blood trails at the same time. One trail from the near side wound, one trail from the far side and one trail from his nose. As I followed (not really tracking), I never had to look up once. I walked right to him.

Magnolia state records informed me they have never scored a traditional deer this large in Mississippi. Nothing official yet but they can't find a bigger one on the books. Thanks again GrizzlyStik for making your arrows & broadheads. After shoot GrizzlyStik for the past 15 years, I love them more now than I ever have.” - Joey Buchanan

I shot him at 20 yards broadside. I watched him for about 10 minutes before I shot him. Couldn’t have been a better way[...]

North Central Montana Public Land Elk

My first elk ever. I’m from Southern Illinois and got the elk in North Central Montana on a public land unit. It was an all day stalk in 30+ mph winds which helped me close the distance to 30 yards. The shot blew THROUGH his right scapula, hit both lungs and stopped as it split a rib on the left side.[...]

Slow Start, Strong Finish

Overall, it was a slow start to the pre-rut, but with temps dipping down into the low 30s, what a difference a front can make in the deer woods. Sitting in the dark I could hear grunting, chasing and snort wheezing in the woods in front of me. After daylight broke things quieted down. An hour later a[...]
