  • A True Hunting Adventure

    A True Hunting Adventure

    When Wasp was deciding what kind of hunt should be awarded to the winner of the first Hunt-of- a-Lifetime giveaway, a bowhunt for moose in British Columbia won by unanimous decision. No matter how you slice it, any moose is a trophy and taking one down with a stick, string and Wasp broadhead truly is the ultimate adventure. Most diehard archers have a moose hunt on their bucket list. And maybe you can check it off your list soon by entering the giveaway.

    After choosing the right hunt, Wasp had to find the right outfitter. Wasp partnered with Turnagain Adventures because Wasp knows they will deliver a once in a lifetime hunt. Whether your hunt falls during the pre-rut or rut, Turnagain Adventures Outfitters has the experience and knowledge to make your hunt a success and deliver a thrilling expedition.

    The frosty September British Columbia mornings signals to a bull moose that it is time to breed. They become territorial, aggressive and downright desperate in their pursuit of a mate. Here is where the fun comes in for bowhunters.

    Whispering sweet notes of love to a rutting moose with a call and having him respond by steaming like a freight train nearly right into your lap is exhilarating. It will rouse you from your dreamlike trance brought on by the peaceful surroundings of British Columbia’s last wild frontier.

    It is this contrast of tranquility and panic that is such an attraction to a bowhunter. At one moment the stunning scenery of wild streams flowing into majestic mountains that surrounds your search for moose in their natural habitat leaves you breathless and next the sight of an enormous bull has you shaking. After calming your nerves and delivering an arrow equipped with a Wasp broadhead, you are in awe. The experience is invigorating and serene all at the same time.

    Under the guidance of Turnagain Adventures, you will experience a pure wilderness hunt by horseback or riverboat. Wasp will help you prepare for the 10-day hunt. There is a limit to what you can comfortably carry with you, and there is no luxury of stopping by the local gas station, clothing store or hardware store to pick up a necessity.
    You may be pushed hard in the vast wilderness and achieve things you never thought you were capable of doing. But you will be rewarded with an emotionally charged adventure full of life. We can’t wait to hear your story.

  • The Rut of 2011

    The Rut of 2011

    On a recent visit to the Mecca for whitetail hunters known as the Midwest, three Wasp team members learned a little bit about predicting a successful hunt: It’s best not to do it, even when you are confident you’ll get a shot to let your Wasp broadhead fly. From November 14-20, Matt, Zach, and Jake hunted with Hanke’s Hunts in Waterville, Kansas, on what was sure to be a rut-crazed bowhunt. But it just never came to be, for any of them.

    The hunt started off with warmer conditions and very little rutting activity. As the full moon died off, the hopes of better chasing conditions were in the back of everyone’s minds. And as the week went on and cooler temperatures came, so did the winds. For the final three days of the hunt, winds ripped through river bottoms, gusting at up to 40 mph. But the hunters never gave up hope. Each one held on tight to their tree and kept searching for a buck that would meet its match with a Wasp broadhead.

    Each night the hunters called around asking for reports from other hunters. And the answer was always the same. “The rut just doesn’t seem to be in full-swing yet, and I’m not sure it ever will be this year.”  Not what anyone wanted to hear.

    Though many people have had success in 2011, it has been and will be considered one of the strangest seasons for those looking to experience a true rut. Many people blame it on the moon phase or the high temperatures. Some just blame it on bad luck. But one thing is for sure, the rut of 2011 will go down in the books as one that was never just quite right.

    And though all things must come to an end, that doesn’t mean it’s ever too early to start looking forward to the rut of 2012. We know one thing, our broadheads will be sharp!
