Originally posted by LAMADMAN: My trad bow mentor, I guess you could say, has a recurve that he marks his kills on with an ink pen I think. Just little slashes of five, but he has about 97 kills marked on this bow, all documented. When I first stopped at his house he showed me his bows and asked if I wanted to go out back and shoot some. I say sure Ill give it a try. He strings up the bow with all those kills and hands it to me to use. I was very reluctant and asked are you sure you dont mind but he insisted. I guess I was hooked ever since.
Originally posted by ChuckC: I stopped doing anything like this (marking things) years ago when I was confronted by a friend and fishing / hunting partner. We rented a boat on this small lake and were slaying the bluegills. Wanting to be able to come back to the spot later I reached over and put a big X on the side of the boat. My buddy asked what I was doing, and after I explained he burst out laughing and pointed out matter of factly " you dumb ****, we might not get the same boat next time". . . Never againChuckC
