I think the proof that I have become a good bow hunter would be when I take a coyote with a bow…I’ve had coyotes spot me at over 200 yards…pretty smart animals.

I’ve shot them with 22LR, 22 mag and 223s, they are hard to kill. They cause thousands of dollars of damage to the rice fields in our area every spring.

Hey Webmom, do you know of such a book and where we might find it? 😉

(Pages 116-18 and 121-22: The Traditional Bowhunter’s Handbook By T. J. Conrads

I’m told our Webmom knows the author pretty well. She might be able to get an autograph for you.)

That’s the one on my list…:-):)

Thank you. Come payday I’m ordering two books on traditional archery that get into bow-making and arrow-making. I was reading about the Otzi, the Iceman and apparently he had arrows that were footed…very interesting what our ancestors knew and when.

We have 2-3 inches of sleet with 4 inches of snow on top and it’s 16F. That’s our spring. We grow cotton here, it’s the bloomin’ South for crying out loud…I’m 60 years old and I can say this is the worst winter I can remember..

I haven’t seen a cougar or a black bear here in the Southern Ozarks in years, however, they seem to be everywhere now..also, a young grey wolf was killed in the county north of us when the hunter mistook it for a coyote. The tests on the animal indicated it came down from Minnesota, that’s a long way to travel buddy.

WE are blessed in this area with all sorts of critters, so I try to keep my eye out for new things.

I will tell you that the first time I saw an armadillo up here, mid-80s, it made me jump. I had seen them often in Texas; they seem to like sleeping in the middle of the road..much like our possums.

in reply to: Cleaning a recurve bow #33353

I dug some stuff called Goo Gone out of the cabinet and sprayed the bow with it. It smells like citrus oil. Anyway, I tried cleaning with a paper towel and it wouldn’t come off. So I sprayed some more and came back about 20 minutes later and it darn near just wiped off. It only took me about 30 more minutes to get every bit of the residue off and wipe the bow down and dry it. I put a very light coat of furniture oil on the bow to protect it.

I keep thinking this is a Pearson bow, but I can’t find the word Pearson anywhere. It has the AMO and poundage marked and a serial number and that’s it…anyway, nice light bow.

Man is the Prey (1969) by James Frederick Clarke. There are one or two of Corbett’s stories in there. This is one of my favorite books.

Congo Kitabu by Jeanne-Pierre Hallet is also very good, however, I have read some reviews that he may not be telling the whole truth..I have no idea one way or another on this one.
