I had someone drop off a deer carcass wraped in a bedsheet at the end of my driveway.On examination I noticed they took the head,backstraps,and a couple cuts out of the rump.The rest was left to rot.Needless to say I was disgusted.Drug it to the side of the county road in plain sight,was gone the next day.Some people have no business hunting.

in reply to: wool or camo? #16931

The best camo is a Velcro strap on your bow quiver with a fir bough.(or whatever tree or shrub).It will help conceal your draw.A old Larry Jones trick I seen in a book;minus the Velcro.

in reply to: video yourself shooting #57519

I tried it with my digital camera.Indeed a great tool and fun to watch.I use to use a dead release and tried the touch your shoulder thing, but I never could get it to come natural.Then I discovered a guy on you tube who said to follow through by touching you ear.I picked this up very quick and it comes natural without thinking about it.

in reply to: Totems #40448

For me it’s the mountain lion.My wife pointed it out to me as I have quite a collection of black panther figures.I have a mountain lion leather stamp that I put on my homemade bow holder.(the pocket for the bow tip on parracord tied to the belt) and on my armguard as well.Just for luck and stealth as a hunter.I always get as much meat as possible from a kill (I butcher myself) and never throw away wild meat (I’ll finish the kid’s plate) out of respect for the animal.To waste is taboo.To consume a religious experience.

in reply to: Hunting canoe #39490

Jim, I have a 18 ft grumman alumminum canoe with fiberglass outriggers and a 3 horse mercury outboard.With outriggers it makes for a very stable boat.You can jump in the water and climb over the gunwales to get back in.I have had this canoe in the Columbia river when its whitecapping with no problems.Check out Nelson outrriggers on the Internet.Expensive yes but they make your canoe a dream boat.I get a good laugh at the $40000 boats burning $100 of fuel when I can boat all weekend on $5 and go places with shallow draft and narrow channel.

If this is what hunting becomes,I’ll be a Peta foot soldier! Whatching that video was repulsive…puke,puke,smeared in poop!

in reply to: tuning tuffheads with dixon alignment tool #23903

Opensky, I found that if I spin it with slight pressure I get my best result.When I did my old magnus stinger 2 blades, this was not such a issue.I use bohning insert iron as it has a 24 hour cure and holds up well.(personal preference).(72 hr full cure).I too had the wobble effect at first.I figured out it was a release issue.I found that if I pull on the string of the first crease of my second finger.Then put the string in the first crease of third finger and the first finger between the tip and first crease.I pull to anchor release from the corner of mouth and follow through by touching my ear.This give’s me a clean release.The beauty of building your own arrows and not buying them off the shelf is you can build them to your own taste and it is much more satisfying.There will be trials and frustration;lord knows I have had my share but is all in the learning experience.Find out what works best for you,tweak things and find success!
