Congratulations! As an avid grouse hunter I have often thought of giving them a try with my longbow, as well.

Congratulations1 That is a real trophy!

Question.. would you have considered using a small game blunt instead? I was thinking of using Ace Hex Heads…….

Whatdaya catch him on? Answer: The end of my line.

in reply to: Howard Hill Tembo Very Disappointing #48781

There is certainly one very obvious fact. Without the determination and dedication of men like Howard Hill, Fred Bear, and several others, Glenn St Charles always comes to mind. We would not have the Archery Seasons and privileges in Bowhunting that we enjoy today. I will not judge.. I thank them all.

As for Byron Ferguson, a true gentlemen and an excellent ambassador of Archery.

Period.

Van, George…. different times. I doubt very many here ever shot a field round or an animal round. Where longer distance shots are the norm. Ooops.. I have to stay within 18.3 yards 😆

It is funny how we gravitate toward things like bows. I can see romance in an old recurve bow; smooth drawing, classy looking little risers with those vivacious curves 8^)))). I like them all, but the 60’s recurves get my attention the most.

Just tell me this one ain’t sexy. 🙄

Ah Geoge… I was tempted to go there. But since you did… I love my longbows… because they are long, lean, beautiful and sexy!!!! I knew Freud would eventually show up!!! 😆

This mindset is the problem with a lot of hunters today. I get strange looks for walking around with my surplus Alice Pack as opposed to some 300-400 dollar BadLands pack. I get funny looks for wearing earth toned clothes as opposed to camouflage. Many hunters think it is odd that I don’t have a GPS, rangefinder or the array of odd gimmicks for my bow. To me those people seem to be more connected than me towards technology than the raw experience of hunting in the outdoors. I often think to myself they are somehow similar to people playing video games. I am careful not to express it that way because it will obviously be taken offensively by many.

At some point the successful hunter will have to put down their catalog or turn off their television and go out to do the business of hunting. I guess that means me too. I better sign off and do a hunt this weekend if weather permits.

Ah,, Ray… we are of the same mind! Like many here! That’s a good thing!

Good Hunting!
Steve

in reply to: First group EVER with wood arrows #45970

Nice going Patrick! 8)

Question… I like the finish on those arrows. What did you use (spur, poly, lacquer?) and how many coats did you apply?

Oh where oh where did my HERTER’S Go…!!!!!!!!

I don’t even look at them anymore. They come in the mail and I deep six em in the garbage can with no second thoughts.

What gets me is 40 years ago or so these mail order companies that we are all so very famalier with, have over expanded into multiple “superstores” which is fine if all you want to do is meet self proclaimmed celebrites and look at stuffed animals. But these mail order catalogs that used to provide BIG SAVINGS are now asking TOP DOLLAR and then some, to pay for all their overhead. Sorry no thanks! Don’t need tham.

And of course the “Scent Elimination” camo costs twice as much as regular camo.. so you can now get twice as ripped off!!! :P:lol:
