in reply to: Extremely Hard Season So Far! #39921

I envy you guys from the northwest…we have the same problem with “motorbutts” around here in Ohio, but it’s not the same as yours with the invasion of the majestic forests that you have. Good luck with whatever is left of your seasons…May it be a peaceful and successful one!

in reply to: Washing Clothes: Baking Soda? #38721

I use baking soda in my boots and have dusted my armpits with it on occasion:lol:. Mainly, I wash my clothes with Sportwash andthen use Scent Killer to spray on my clothes and boots. But there’s nothing like hanging them out in the fresh air in the shade to freshen up your clothes. I also wash with Ivory soap before heading for the woods.

in reply to: I"v never used a longbow #37476

I’ve shot longbow 7or8 yrs. after shooting a recurve for 6 yrs. and I’ve never looked back.I’m hooked! After getting used to the way a longbow shoots and adapting to the subtle differences, it has become the most natural of ways to shoot. It will force you to be more aware of your form and technique in general. I think you will find the longbow mezmerizing(sp?), to say the least. Good luck and enjoy!:)

in reply to: Arrow quivers while hunting #33989

Used a back quiver for years treestand hunting and for a while after becoming a ground hunter. I’d hang the quiver on a teacup hook in the tree I was hunting. Successfully used the back quiver on the ground, but found that at times I’d snag on the brush. Plus, getting a second arrow meant alot of motion. That’s when I decided to go to EFA four arrow Mini Max…. alot less motion for getting that second arrow and less hangups on the brush.:roll: JMHO

in reply to: refunishing bow????? #33961

Jason, I’m glad to hear that you still have your Savannah and using it this season. Unless you’ve got it all scratched up I wouldn’t worry about it; the little marks give it character. I’ve had my Elk River for about 5 yrs now and the small scratches on it just show that it’s been used. On the other hand, I’m sure Martin will refinish your bow and make it look like new, or you can find someone like your buddy Tim who deals in finishing arrows who could lightly sand and respray it with polyurethane for you.:idea:
Keep me posted on how your season is going….I didn’t go today as it’s been raining all day.

in reply to: Who is your bowhunting hero and why? #33058

I have alot of people I look upto in bowhunting….and alot of them are still with us. But the one guy that I used to love to read and read about was Paul Schafer. His stories were real down to earth but adventurous at the same time. I miss him.
Of course, I enjoy FB,GFA,DP,GW,BW,TJC,EDT,and MRJ,just to mention a few.Wish I could express things half as well as they can and did.
I feel fortunate just to be in the midst of some of them.

in reply to: Shrew Haven West #26051

Dave….I do know the empty feeling of a season coming to an end. I’m sure all the camp experiences are etched into all of your memories for years to come. I’m still looking forward to the making of this year’s memories. Our season has only begun, but the weather is hot and the woods have n’t taken on that fall feeling. Thanks for sharing with fellow hunters who live our lives vicariously through those of you who have chance to pursue the majestic Elk out there in Colorado.:D

in reply to: Vanilla Cover Scent tip #22456

Don’t know about putting it on my clothes, but I’d try it on a wick or cotton ball away from me. I’ve had good luck with Trails End for pre-rut and rut and it has some anise in it. May give the vanilla extract a shot though.:roll:
