thats because a lot of hunters dont place a good shot, they will shoot a deer in back,angled etc.some even shoot deer up the backend.
dont laugh,more than you think.
a lot of hunters have lost respect for the deer.they will shoot a deer between eyes if that is only shot.
using expanding points they will not open if shot placement is not ethical.
i have friends that road hunt.
hundreds of them.
they jump out and the deer is looking at them,they pull up and shoot with expanding point.
then they wound the deer and wound a lot of bucks this way.
i sit in my stand, i let buck turn BROADSIDE,then i shoot my expanding point, NEVER LOST BUCK.
last year i let go a huge 8 point at around 33 yds because i could not get broadside shot.he stood there for 5 minutes. i had shot from the top of shoulder and neck.
MOST WOULD HAVE SHOT AT THIS BUCK.not sproul. i believe in kill not wounding any deer.
people who dont think this way will shoot angled shots or any shots.
is this normal, YOU BET IT IS.out of say 10 hunters i know in my area, myself and 1 more are ETHICAL HUNTERS.we are dieing breed,fossil waiting to go.
now its BROWN ITS DOWN hunters and with it comes expanding points not opening.this is why some are going back to fixed points.these are hunters mostly that dont wait for broadside shot,some just feel more comfortable with fixed but i feel its ANGLED SHOT HUNTER that uses them.
i shot spitfire into 50 targets ,we tested the spitfires on fake deer too,not 1 time did they not open, not 1 time.
these were all broadside shots.
then i took ANGLED SHOTS,out of 9 shots 5 glanced off the fake buck and did not open.
LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING,did not open.throw in a live deer withFUR/RIBS/BONES and that could be even worst .
IF I WAS ANGLED HUNTER i would never use a expanding point ,NEVER.
SPROUL HAS SPOKEN!
