Most expensive

[DWT]

I knew I was destined to be a bowhunter when I was seven I had received a little red bow made by bear archery and was in the yard the following  spring shooting and just so happens one of our chickens happened by. It was one of the best shots I have made to this day and it just fell short of the BC minimums for chickens. Not expensive in the monetary way but when  my Dad got home from work it was very expensive in other ways.

When I was in college I was managing a restaurant and we were having problems with a couple of skunks that had become a little too friendly. They would hang out around our back deck and look for scraps to feed on. They seem to have no fear of anyone. At first it seemed to be no harm until one sprayed a customer. The owner new I always had my bow in my truck so he asked me to take care of them with my bow if I could. We had a lot of deer that would feed outside where the customers could watch so he didn’t want to use a gun. I waited for one to feed behind our wood pile so I could have some cover from the spray. My shot was perfect right behind the shoulder. It went into a death roll flopping around with my cedar shaft for about 20 yards right under our wall mounted swamp cooler to the dish room!! It made a direct hit with its spray cloud to the swamp cooler. It pump all that spray right inside the restaurant. Well let’s just say it smelled real bad inside the restaurant for a good week. It didn’t cost any money but I got a lot of grief from it. FYI I did learn from the second one I shot that if you do ever have to shoot a skunk shoot it in the back of the head, they don’t spray that way.

can honestly say I have never had a mishap when shooting that was going to cost me money or damage or hit a live thing....  guess my father put the fear of GOD in me as child about knowing your target, what is beyond your target, never taking questionable shots even in fun...and the risk of an errant shot going where you thought it not possible.

other than hitting the fence behind my target...or hitting a landscape light with a pulled shot...they are all in direction and impact things that have no real value or loss if damaged.  Been shooting about 25 years with bow....40 years with firearms.
