I stuck a small doe Saturday morning and passed on a decent 8 Friday evening, all public ground. I was out the first two days and it was brutal. Had to take a change of clothes to change into after getting all setup so I wasn't sitting there soaked in sweat the whole time.
Yeah--that was the most I've ever sweated while hunting. I brought a spare shirt to change into once in the tree, but could have used a few more...and some pants and socks. Maybe next time hunting in heat like that I'll just go native and paint my body cammo colors. Kidding--I'll never hunt in heat like that again.

Congrats on a nice mature doe! I get amped up and especially if I hear the deer crash...I like to go and look for blood trail. Sometimes its good to wait and hopefully the deer bleeds out.
As for the lighted nocks, we cant use them out west here but If it works for you its all good. Typically a crossbow or even compound bow blasts right through them so the only thing good the lighted noc is to find your arrow and see what kind of blood you got on the arrow. If its gut blood then you know you should back out. Lung blood most likely its not far.
What's the reason the lighted nocks can't be used? I presume this is a state wide restriction?
Im not for certain, its an Idaho fish and game law...stupid hippie tree huggers influence...most likely. I would think its better to possibly help find your animal you just shot.
Some rules I think are intended for hunters NOT to get big game animals...
It's probably a leftover from P&Y or something like that. They don't allow electronics on archery tackle. I believe they just recently started allowing lighted nocks in conjunction with kills, but nothing else(unless that's changed too). Or, it could be a purity/traditional thing. There are still states that don't allow mechanical broad heads or scopes on muzzle loaders. Change come slowly when old fuddy-duddies are left in charge.
Racer--here is a photo from yesterday. It's hard to get good pictures because she is always moving. I caught her "slowed down" for a moment. She's now 55 pounds and completed her first training blood track recently. She was a natural once she realized what I was asking her to do.
I'll take her on future tracks for sure. It was too hot to keep her in the truck while I hunted on Saturday. Since I was able to find the deer easily, I didn't bother with going all the way home to get her.
If anyone on here wants to contact me in the event of a wounded deer that I could help track, please feel free. I'd rather we communicate before you actually wound a deer so that we have each other's phone numbers, etc.

Ima say a toxic broad head, that's pretty sweet.Well Mrs. Rhino took out her new crossbow and drew first blood this evening. Dropped a doe she happily agreed was a little bigger than mine from Saturday. Here is a shot of the entrance wound, any guess what broad head she uses?

The shot went through the middle of the liver. The doe only made it about 50 yards and within 10-15 seconds of being hit, she crashed to the ground dead. I've had deer like that go hundreds of yards and take an hour or more to die.
Prob right...Muzzleloader rules are a little goofy too. We also cant use expandable broadheads...It's probably a leftover from P&Y or something like that.

yep...still dumb laws IMO....I never used the lighted nocs but I dont see how it would prove anymore of an advantage other than possibly helping find game. Most of my arrows have passed through the animal anyhow.Wasn't too hard to find. I do not agree with any part of their ruling/law, but it's their game and we're just players.
