in reply to: How to repair bow? #42308
Etter, sorry I just saw this thread. I have two copperheads in the freezer. I sold the bow that I was putting them on. They’re all yours the next time you come down.
in reply to: Getting in shape #41841I exercise regularly. Running/biking, push ups, sit ups, pull ups.
in reply to: Longbow Turkey #56016Tailfeather,
Congratulations again. What a fine accomplishment. You continue to set the bar for Etter, Lackey, myself and others. I’m hopefully right behind you this season. I’m spending the rest of it with my recurve in hand. Good times brother!

David Petersen wrote: Tail — I too am deeply impressed. Hunting just doesn’t get any more real, or difficult, or rewarding, than from the ground without a blind or dekes (though in my experience dekes often as not spook more birds then they bring within bow range). I am not putting down using dekes, which I sometimes do, or a tent blind, which I never do. But there are degrees to every accomplishment and this ranks at the top. Assuming of course you weren’t baiting. 😛 I much prefer jakes as they are actually edible without deep frying. Now go get another!
Dave, slow cook over indirect heat or smoke a whole wild turkey breast or filet on the grill. Use your favorite rub or marinade.
So many hunters throw away the legs and thighs. I find this to be a criminal waste. 😯
Two nights ago I slow-cooked two sets of legs and thighs in a crock pot. Next, I de-boned and chopped the meat in a food processor and froze the meat for use in chili or spaghetti. Low fat healthy eats indeed.:D
in reply to: How to write on a bow? #27834Get what you need Etter and I’ll do the art work.
in reply to: Archery is fun again! #27832Welcome! I’m fifty-one years old and made decision to switch three years ago. I have two deer seasons under my belt with a traditional bow and no kill yet.. There are a couple of bucks Out there with unusual birth marks. But, my ego was wounded much more than their flesh. Enjoy the transition. You will not regret it. 😀
in reply to: Abell's instinctive shooting books – a question #27814I’ve only read the first one. I learned my form from his instruction. It is well written, and the concepts and basics are clearly explained. I need to read the second.
in reply to: Wonderful News! #27813Congratulations. May you have many joys and few worries.
in reply to: wool or camo? #26613When I first hunted in the 1970s I had NO camo. My Dad thought it was an extravagance. He was correct. In my early adult hunting days, I thought I had to be in camo. Now, I just wear combinations of camo or plaid. Here in SE Georgia, our climate is mild most of hunting season, so I like wearing thin layers. I definitely like the new moisture wicking material that is out now.

Listen to him “son.” Mr. Scott speaks good words. 😀
Seriously, Michael, that is so true. I have a good friend who is an octogenarian. He remembers when electricity was installed in his childhood home. He still owns the land where he was born. He surfs the net and uses a computer as well as anyone. He has seen many changes in his lifetime. And, he has so much to share. I’ve learned much from him just by listening.

Yes! “My Old 55” and “The Piano Has Been Drinking” in the first case, and “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” (Ray-gun, Zap!) in the second. Recovering Marines must think alike!. (Assuming we think at all.) 😛
Clap Hands, Jockey Full of Bourbon…heck, the entire Rain Dogs lp by Tom Waites.
in reply to: Hunting footwear #15585I like good light weight hiking boots. I bought a pair of Keen’s a couple of years ago. I am tough on shoes and these have stood the test of time. Rugged soles, durable a nd very light.

Is it hard being a living cliche? you tell me Tom Sawyer. 😀
in reply to: Good for Illinois ?? #15577Etter1 wrote: I despise anybody that would kill an animal in a small enclosure and claim it was hunted, but I see it as another form of farming, albeit a disgusting form.
At the same time, I feel it’s another slippery slope. Just like everything that has happened in California. There are now several states in the Pacific Northwest that have outlawed hound hunting. I have to believe that this was largely due to the fact that the rest of the hunting public (non-hound hunters) didn’t stand up and fight for their brothers and sisters.
I don’t consider high fence operations hunting, but where does it end?
Just think about that guy bragging to us about picking out exotic animals in an inclosure and asking his host, “How much for that one? Oh, that’s too much. What is the price for killing that?”
This is is a practice hunting can survive without.

in reply to: It's Time Again! #14342I e-book, paper book and even audio book. If you have not listened to Tom Kelly read his own books on audio book, you have really missed something.
