        I took this deer today with my Bear Kodiak Hunter. Smooth shooter! This makes 2 deer for the Kodiak Hunter and 1 deer for the Super Kodiak so far this season.

            Congrats!!!! Nice picture too. Sounds like a banner year on the deer hunting side of things!

              The hit was on the right side, directly under the bow. I cleaned him up for the photo.

              Yes, it’s been a great year for my archery! I still have another hunt at a national refuge this weekend not counting the regular state wide archery and firearms seasons. These special draw hunts fall outside of the state’s harvest guidelines. Each of the locations sets their own rules.

                Congrats, Coyote! sounds like you are having a great season.

                Small suggestion if I may; reposition your bowquiver into the riser so the mounts aren’t on the working part of the limbs.

                    I love your picture there, and congrats on the fine kill with your Kodiak Hunter. What poundage Hunter is pictured there, and what broadheads did you use BTW.

                    I have 3 Bear vintage recurves

                    All from early 70’s
                    Super Kodiak Grayling 55#, Kodiak Hunter 35#. Kodiak Magnum 45#

                    The Super Kodiak will be used next year for hunting with I believe, as it is still a super nice shooting bow.

                      Cottonwood: The poundage is #50 at 28″ but I draw 30.5″. The broadheads are Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade.

                      I have the same Super Kodiak and a few other bows.

                      I’ll be out on Saturday with my father wish us luck!

                        Coyote,
                        Nice buck! And nice bow collection. I’ve got that same color
                        Grizzly except mine is a lefty. And good luck on Saturday.

                          Thanks Duncan.

                          I also have a few “older” Bears that are a blast to shoot. The top two are PSE long bows, I let them sneak into to gain a little class!

                            coyote220, you have some great bows there on your walls, I wish I had room on my walls to display mine. We also use the same Zwickey Eskimo broadheads.

                              I enjoy surfing the web during down times. I have come across some good finds. I shoot all of them.

                              I also supply a local archery shop (Backyard Archery, Noblesville IN.) with various traditional and kids bows. The old classic Red Bear, Gray Fox brand Bear fiberglass bows are fast movers. We just split the profits and the shop keeps me in supplies.

                                I shoot and hunt with the older Bears also. I use a set of 55# and a 60# Super Magnum 48’s. I also have a couple Kodiak Mags but would like to sell them and I have my first bow from when I was 10 a Black Bear. I would like to get a deer with that one next year.

                                  Sometimes I feel like if I just spend enough time in the woods I’ll at least bump into a deer! Just get out there when ever you can.

                                  Good luck
