in reply to: Ohio making a big mistake,possibly… #42962
They have an inline muzzleloader season in October here in PA. It is frustrating but does not hinder the rut hunting too much for me. Over the past few years I have only run into a few guys using one in the woods.
in reply to: Elkheart arrived! #36884Scout…no worries
Dave…give me about 10 years or so with the Elkheart and I will turn to a self bow (maybe..lol).
Thanks all for the complements and it was a long process to decide on the final woods for the bow (glad I had ten months it really went down to the wire). I went through so many different combinations but in the end I am so pleased with the way it turned out. The more I look at it the more detail I see in the wood.
It handles and shoots really well for me…I am switching from my ’68 kodiak hunter so at first I really had to focus on my grip. The design of the riser helped me out tremendously and is extremely repeatable. I just have to make sure to keep the low wrist position. Now five days later and nearly 200 arrows it is starting to be second nature and the old kodiak which I shoot for 4 years nearly ever day feels alien in my had. I now feel tuning the arrows can go forward.
If you are thinking of getting a javaman bow do it! Gregg is a great craftsman and very easy to work with.
in reply to: Elkheart arrived! #36452Dave my draw length is coming in at 28.5 with the Elkheart…and “enjoy” is such an understatement!!! Well worth the ten month wait…but the last weeks are the longest!
in reply to: Had the day off #35700My brother is a certified executive chef and he serves squab for a high price. Squap is pigeon…to think people pay a lot for something we killed at will when we were young.
Alex,
I see you are from PA as well and I have looked into falconry.
Here is address for the PA game commissions web site. They have all the info needed for PA.

in reply to: Best Fletching Cement? #19880I also like loctite superglue but I get the gel type.
in reply to: Good for Illinois ?? #14961It would be nice to have this issue handled by hunters but money is the issue and usually drives what takes place. I agree with banning the hunting farms but I would like to see the banning of game farms period. I think the risk to wild populations by captive counter parts that escape can cause serious problems.
However, I understand that there is not much different between wildlife farming and domestic (cows and such) farming. And more likly the wildlife in these farms are treated differently (for the better) then cows.
In the end, for me, it comes down to perspective as a whole. Most find the unfair killing of a deer offensive but the slaughter house is fine as long as no one sees it. When this “canned hunting” is shown as what hunting is then it depics all hunting as the same even though it isn’t. Most people don’t see the difference between what the idiots do on the outdoor channel and what I do. Even though there is a giant gap in almost all aspects.
in reply to: What's in a Name? #14251Now I wish I came up with something cool!!!! brennanherr is my name with no space…can u guess where one ends and the other starts…lol!
in reply to: How many bows do you have? #11080Just a ’68 bear kodiak hunter 50@28….I love her but in a few weeks an Elkheart will replace her. She will be placed in safe keeping for the boys when they are ready.
