Title: Late Blackie
Post by: 7mm short mag on December 13, 2009, 05:13:46 PM: Finally hooked up with nice blacktail! It was a long season but a fun one, I saw lots of deer had some chances at nice bucks in the early season just couldn't seal the deal. I decided to hunt some flats for the late hunt and the first day I got to hunt I hit the thick timber. After about an hour of sneaking around a saw a deer looking at me at 40 yards, I saw it was a heavy buck but I thought it was a 2 point so I wasn't going to shoot it. I watched it for maybe a minute and thought to myself, that is a hell of a 2 point I'm shooting it, so i let one fly and heard the wack from my 100 grain wack'em. I waited about 5 minutes and couldn't wait any longer I had to find my buck and about 20 yards there it was laying there with his 3 point side sticking up. I was so glad a didn't pass it up, now i need to decide to mount it or not.?

Post by: highside74 on December 13, 2009, 08:12:13 PM: Per a conversation with the WDFW Wac'em broadheads are not legal in Washington. The blade has that little notch on the bottom inside edge. I know, it makes no sense. :bdid:

Your an outlaw. RUN! :guns:

Oh btw nice Blackie that you harvested illegally. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Late Blackie
Post by: Bearhunter on December 13, 2009, 08:15:41 PM: So how is it that Wac Em broadheads are illegal. Ive been checked before and never received any grief over them?

Post by: highside74 on December 13, 2009, 08:51:22 PM: It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with
a broadhead blade unless the broadhead
is unbarbed and completely closed at
the back end of the blade or blades by
a smooth, unbroken surface starting at
maximum blade width forming a smooth
line toward the feather end of the shaft and
such line does not angle toward the point.

That is from the Reg's. The Wac'em doesn't have a smooth, unbroken surface. They considered it a barb. If you look at the broadhead it has that little notch by the shaft.

Post by: highside74 on December 13, 2009, 09:01:04 PM: Also I don't want to jack this guy's thread. We can start a new one in the bow hunting area if you like. But we have spoken to the dumb rules dept. and that head is not allowed.
Title: Re: Late Blackie
Post by: Trophy Hunter on December 13, 2009, 09:51:53 PM: AHH. The debate over "poached" or "not poached". Good luck with that.
Nice BT.
Title: Re: Late Blackie
Post by: highside74 on December 14, 2009, 07:12:37 AM: There is no debate happening I was just giving him some ribbing and guy's wanted to know if my info was correct or not.

I don't think poached ever crossed anyone's mind.

Again, please keep the comments to this guy's awesome Blackie. We can start a different thread if you like.

My comments were in fun because most people don't know those broadheads are not legal.
