Title: 72 Grizzly vs. Deer
Post by: Stone Knife on October 19, 2008, 11:08:00 AM
I have been mulling over using a four blade Zwickey with my Grizzly, so this morning I sharpened one up

I'll post another pic, but then I need to take care of some unfinished business.

Yesterday was quite exciting to say the least and I wanted in the worst way to sit in the same stand as I did on Sat but I knew that I had to give it a rest. One thing I noticed on Sat afternoon was the squirrels were climbing around knocking a lot of beach nuts down and the deer were feeding heavy on them so my stand of choice was in a beach tree with plenty more around it, I had moved one of my stands there in late Sept. because of three nice trails that came together in that location. I was in the stand before daylight, it was pretty cool this morning we had a hard frost it was the kind of morning that you wish for. I sat there for over two hours and all I saw were squirrels, then out in front of me  noticed a little movement then I thought I saw a deers head. Next thing I can see him walking towards me feeding his way down the trail he stopped at 20 yards broadside, I thought about shooting then but I decided to wait to see if he would come closer he did, he strolled in to about 10 yards not a thing in the way, I drew anchored picked my spot and the arrow was on the way. I knew he was done for after the hit there was about 6 inches of arrow left sticking out of him the shot looked perfect. He ran about 40 yards and stopped I thought he was going down there but after a second he took off running, about two seconds later I heard him crash. When I got down and looked were I first shot him there was blood right there, and that is always a good sign. He is just a spike but I weighed him and he tipped the scales at 145# not to shabby, this was the first deer I killed with a recurve and I was wearing plaid, I had deer look right at me with this shirt on and pay no attention at all. Joe came back with me to help drag him out and to make sure I ordered some Slim Jim's were we get the deer cut up. I'm real pleased with my setup this season my 45# grizzly with some four fletch carbons, I played around with this all summer just to get it set up right and to be ready for this moment.

Jim, I have been silently watching your quest with a traditional vintage recurve, and I must say...

I am extremely happy for you.

Way to go!

Fred would be proud.

Can't wait until Joe follows in your footsteps, and you share it with us.

Tell us about your bow. I have one just like it that I have been thinking about hunting with. At only 45# it zips an arrow as fast as newer recurves at heavier draw wts.

Those early 70's Grizzlys with green stained wood are pretty nice bows. They have always been the bow that would catch my eye on the trading blanket.

Congrats on your nice buck!
