Hey guys.
I'm feeling confidant enough about my knapping skills that I can make something that will kill bigger game. I'll be nailing fish this summer left right and center but I was thinking. .. I like a long narrow point for fish. Less drag deeper penetration for detaching my slip tip.
In the Fall I'm going to try and take a turkey. What sort so tips do you guys like for that. Style, Size, Weight? I live in Iowa so there are as I understand no laws on broadheads. Are pinetrees a good idea if you are after the meat or are they more to look at?
As to the pig. Here in Iowa there isn't even a liscense required to go get them and we have them in the south. I've taken deer (not primitive) but never a pig and I have a hankering for pork. Any guidelines for making dead pigs with stone heads?

I'd make small simple triangles. Notches or no notches either one. Twistedlimbs just started a discussion on turkey points where he bounced a nice sounds like kinda broad point off of one. So sounds like smaller to penetrate through the feathers. Also look at Billy Berger's penetration test on deer with "bird points". I bounced a broad triangle off a pig once but think it connected with bone first..

I just saw billy bergers video.. pluss there is another where Bekhamoutdoors shoots a Butterball I found also. Bird points it is then.
