Those Magnus heads are great! I was telling someone the other day, when I switch again, I’m going to try the black hornet because I’ve only ever heard and seen great things about it, and it would be great for my setup. Thanks for watching!

I just go off of whatever guide is made for specific blades. I think there’s only a few different ones for different angles or bevels. The black one is what I used for the Rage blades and the gray one I believe I used for the Magnus ones. I hope that helps some.

Why not? I want them to be familiar with my property and where I hunt. That’s the reason any hunter does any food plotting, habitat improvement, etc. We want them to be regular visitors and to like the places we hunt so we are more likely to see them during season. Interested to hear your reason for why you wouldn’t want deer on your property all or most of the year. Thanks for watching.

@@farmingforwhitetails I guess it's all relative. Where I am, deer are thick. They aren't my pets, I don't want to feed them all year or have them decimate my property. Let them hammer my neighbors ag fields all summer. I just want them around come mid Oct-Dec. At that point, I will have the best buffet table in the area.

We all have different situations. There are different aspects to attraction and nutrition for the deer we can be doing all year long to increase odds of success - and just enjoying the work. Hope you have a great season this fall!

I agree! I probably need to get a couple new ones, but I’m being too tight. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Steve!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

I haven’t used the 150gr ones yet, but I’m sure they’re great! Thanks for watching.

You gotta add tape to get your angle

I end up with a decent amount of crab grass that comes up with it too, which is annoying. But, it’s a long game. Usually the first couple weeks of August, it just goes wild and grows several feet! We’ve really had adequate moisture so far so I hope that keeps up. Thanks for watching!

🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching!

@@farmingforwhitetails hope you get some traction on you vids man good luck

Appreciate that, man. It’s all for fun, but it is cool to see a video take off here and there!

@@farmingforwhitetails hell if you can monetize them n it only covers ammo for hunting that's a W in my book

Sounds familiar! 😎 Thanks for watching!

It’s so odd how deer grazing behavior can vary from place to place, even county to county. If it all pans out, there will be lots for them to choose from, so we will see! Thanks for watching!

@kurtcaramanidis5705 the deer definitely browsed on the forage brassica this summer. That’s the first time I’ve had deer really interested in brassicas in my food plots so pretty interesting!

I’m similar to you as far as draw weight and maybe draw length. For a normal mechanical, I think you really need to be shooting a minimum of 60 pounds and 28 inch plus draw length for best penetration chances. I had one pass through that I can think of with the Rage SS in this video. Those were small cutting diameter and designed for lower KE shooters though. Cut on contact heads will definitely do better for penetration in any setup. Thanks for watching!

Of course, it hasn’t rained since planting! Fingers crossed for some tomorrow to get things going. Thanks for watching!

Winter rye has definitely been attractive to my deer if nothing else. Thanks for watching, Jared.

Absolutely - balansa is definitely high yielding. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Kevin!

Not sure what to tell you. You can read and research the paradox, and that’s what you’ll find. You will still have speed and KE, but if your arrow isn’t stabilized and flying perfectly straight, it can affect penetration. That said, there’s a chance at that time in my archery life, I didn’t have very well tuned arrows. If they weren’t flying perfectly at launch, that would have affected penetration too, but you do need some distance for your arrow to stabilize and fly perfectly straight. I think 15 plus yards is enough distance. I’d prefer that over less than 10 yards for that reason. Thanks for watching.

@@farmingforwhitetails if the paradox is still in effect at 24-25 feet away i would think the arrow is way under spined was my thought. I’ve seen people switch from 100 grain field points to 125 grain broadheads and everything goes haywire instantly. Probably because they were shooting borderline spined shafts to begin with using the 100 grainers.

Tim, the deer I shot at that distance was way back in 2013 when I was still using “cheap” arrows. I’m positive my arrow set up wasn’t nearly maximized for what it could have/should have been. I think for the average bow hunter, they don’t know what they don’t know and may experience the same issues. Good point of discussion and why education is important for all of us while we continually learn and hone our craft! Appreciate the comment!

I’m looking forward to seeing if it helps this year in some of those compacted areas. Thanks for watching!

I understand how that goes. They can’t be winners all the time. I think you want it to germinate a little in the fall and then it re-grows more in the spring. I’m not sure if the seed can lay dormant all winter and then come up. Thanks for watching!

That was one thing I didn’t describe very well. The one strip we call the walkway, I’m gonna mow down the clover and plant the deer and bird blend. The rest of the area (1/2 acre total), I will clip the rye off and just clip the tops of the clovers so they regrow new growth. Hope that makes sense! Yes, I can see so much of God’s word in nature and really everywhere, so always happy to share that. Thanks for the sub and for watching!

agreed

Goods video

Thanks for watching!

Yes, they do! I’ve actually used the warranty before. Thanks for watching!

Whisker biscuit is a great option! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching! I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s all coming along next time I’m there.

Frost seeding is really a great option. Thanks for watching!

@@farmingforwhitetails gonna border half the 1/2 acre plot with giant Miscanthus to give them some cover.

I use an annual blend called Fortress from Grandpa Ray Outdoors for my screening. You should give it a shot. Don’t have to mess with planting rhizomes with the giant miscanthus. Enjoy!

I’ve used kool aid powder for flavoring on top after putting it out before! Thanks for watching!

Sounds good! The more varieties, the better in case one or two don’t establish well. Thanks for watching!

I’m located in Missouri actually. Yes, it was awful dry last year but hoping for some decent moisture this year. I think mixing the annual and perennial clover is a good idea, and i have a good stand of wheat and rye coming up this spring planted last fall that should make a good companion crop. We will see!

Thanks for watching! Good luck with your food plotting this year and with keeping the turkeys under control! 😎

@@farmingforwhitetails usually we do no till.this year having it tilled.hopefully gets done before any of the rye left bolts to seed.God bless Tn .going to subscribe btw,really enjoy your take on the subject.

Thank you for the sub and comments!

I’ve only ever heard good things about them. Good chance I will try them someday. Thanks for watching!

@@farmingforwhitetails I use a 50 lb longbow. Get full penetration with the 4 blade non-serrated ones, and decent trails. Never any damage to the heads.

Will have to check it out. Thanks!

@@farmingforwhitetails Best knife sharpener for the money.

I use the Work Sharp belt sharpener for my knives and really like it.

I saw your comment about the sharpmaker, so I said hey ,I broke out the sharpmaker and a couple used stingers. A few licks on each side, using the black ceramic at 30° and man back to razor sharp. The thing is excellent on my Spyderco's and Benchmades, why not Magnus broadheads. Great suggestion.

@@soonerfabrication4044 I've sharpened so many heads that way. Way more efficient than using a broadhead jig and sandpaper. Thanks for confirming. Happy hunting!

Thanks for watching! I plan to bring content of all the steps along the way again this year. It’s always fun!

Thanks for that! No more than I will do small game hunting, I can’t justify spending any sort of money on a small game set up. This hunt was on a whim I had a day or two before, so I went with something I could put together with equipment I already had. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!

I’d think you could get them to tune with proper methods - paper tune, etc. I never noticed any issues. Thanks for watching!

The only reason I switched from the hunter XT’s is because I got into a heavy arrow ranch fairy phase and wanted something heavier. I’ve scaled back a tad on weight now, but I still like the Kinetics. Both great arrows though!

Absolutely - I’d tried several different things at first. You can tear them up if you’re not careful or aren’t sure what you’re trying to move inside the nock. The tweezers work nicely! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Egyptian wheat will not like Gypsum sand would have been better. Gypsum is Calcium sulfate it holds water into the soil making the clay wetter, Egyptian wheat loves sandy ground. A a two ton Truck load of sand per acre and that would improve your soil for Egyptian wheat.

Thanks for the info, thanks for watching!

@farmingforwhitetails You are welcome we added casting sand to clay, the sand was free just had to pay the haul bill, from the Foundry.

I definitely want to use those someday. Everything I’ve seen from them is that they’re a nasty, awesome broadhead! Thanks for watching!

Yes, it seems to require a balance between gathering intel and inventory about deer but also not educating them. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Good points and thanks for sharing those! Yes, baiting is not something that’s ever been legal in Missouri, and I’ve only done it in the past to try and get inventory of the deer population, but I haven’t for years because it also gives false expectations of deer movement. When the bait is gone, so are the deer usually. I get that each state has its challenges, and it sounds like it’s a situation where if everyone else is baiting, you also have to bait, or you can’t compete. Like you said, my main point in the video is addressing the people who say food plots are bait. Where does the buck stop? Do those guys use any advantages in their hunting strategy? Hunting a funnel, scrape, use scent attractant, etc. Also, you’re correct that the majority only plant a fall food plot. However, there’s big benefit (and fun) found in trying to have a food plot, mineral lick, nutrition program going year round for your deer herd. It keeps them coming back to your property and also benefits them nutritionally. Thanks for watching!
