It’s a good bow.

in reply to: whats everyone favorite BOW ? #14558

Pacific Yew Take Down. 64″ 58lb @ 28″

It’s not a love affair with the look of it. It’s the one I go to all the time because it just point and shoots like it’s a part of my body. For me, it is a very instinctively shooting longbow. It doesn’t hurt that it is also very lightweight and fits right into my pack like a pair of socks. Assembly and disassembly does not require tools.

We let it go. It’s not legal to keep such a big fish. The fight went on for 45 minutes in order to bring it up out of 40 feet of water and it was a good one too. That little one put up a struggle too. LOL

It’s a sturgeon.

I forgot that I also caught what I think was the smallest fish for me on that same day just a few hours before. LOL.

Nice looking boots. I bet they are good for sneaking up on things.

I just wear a baseball cap. When I go bald then I’ll shine the top of my head.

in reply to: Hickory or Osage #11659

I found argentine osage is often very straight and easier to whittle down than hickory. It was a pleasure to work on. I also like hickory but for use as backing on laminate bows has been my experiences. It does that quite well.

I envy you flint and spark guys BUT when I want fire I want it NOW

I believe you’d be surprised to find that magnesium, pitch from a tree and toilet paper light up real darned fast. In fact during wet weather which is quite regular here I don’t rely on a lighter being dry and in working condition. Unless it’s been in a plastic bag. At any rate as long as you get your fire when you need it, that’s the important thing.

Always have a spare tire and a spare set of car keys.

Always have two knives and a sharpener. Always make sure at least one knife has a lanyard to the sheat in case you drop it in the brush it will be easier to recover.

Always make sure to carry enough water and water purification tablets or purifier.

Always carry a magnesium stiker to start a fire. Way better than matches or most lighters. Just use pitch from a tree and the cotton balls that come with the water purification tablets.

Always have tickets for the show. TP.

Always keep your hunting license and tags in one pack for hunting season’s entirety.

Never eat yellow snow.

The pig looks good but a bear skull would also be great. I like it.

It must be due to the maceration and peroxide bleaching process.
