Title: cheap bow and broken arrow
Post by: JamesJamison on November 05, 2012, 08:27:00 PM

About a month ago, while driving through town, I came across a yard sale that had an old bear grizzly recurve and I picked it up for 10.00.  After getting a string on it, and shooting it quite a few evenings, I really wanted to take a deer with it.  I normally hunt with a thunderstick III, but was determined to get it done before this season ended with the grizzly.  

Well, this evening I went to a spot I had picked out where two deer trails intersected before going into an open field, and hunkered down behind a cedar blow down.  Wasn't there for 5 minutes, when I doe came blazing in with a nice buck in hot pursuit.  Thought I would leave the buck for my son to get a crack at, and stuck the doe from 8 yards out.  

Pics aren't very good, took them with my cell phone.

Now it's time to go back to the longbow.  Thanks for looking.

Gotta love it when a plan comes together. Now if your son can get that buck it will be complete. Congrats brother. Well done.
