First Primitive Bow Kill
« on: November 15, 2007, 10:27:00 AM »
After a long stalk and a short bloodtrail I took this masive Pope and Young (possibly Boon & Crockett... depends on shrinkage during drying) Boattail Grackel (Blackbird)yesterday in downtown Houston. Used an Eric Krewson BBO and a rivercane arrow by Snakewood 3 (your feathers are on the way bro). I met Stripstrike1 in a hospital parking lot to give him back the bow because he broke one of the tips and I fixed it for him. As we were talking the shot presented itself and and I could not resist. These birds are a huge nuissance as they roost in the city trees by the thousands and cr@p all over everything.

Nice shooting.   Congrats!!

Birds are hard to hit.   I missed two grouse last weekend from less then 10 yards.

Notice the doors open on my truck to hide us from all of the pedestrian traffic.  You have to use any available cover to hide from the blackbird's  excellent eyesight. We can't seem to get a deer this year....maybe we have to just sick with this. Definitely better than working.  Way to go Bonner!!!!!!!!

He was kinda making a little ruckus and we had to gently remove the head to quiet him down a bit.  He really didn't like that cane arrow running through him too much.

Now that's the face of a natural born killer. I would have thought a 630 grain cane arrow would have given a pass through.

Cool. Where I use to live blackbirds were one of my favorite targets.

snakewood3,
The arrow pinned him to the ground so no pass through. Im gonna build me a bbo and a selfbow in the next few weeks and kill a whittail with a cane arrow and trade point (or try to anyway) I could hit a softball size target everytime from 20yds with Wade's bow and your arrow (nice job).

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Orange fletch arrow shows the archer's might
Shot through gullet now he'll sing no more
But he'll taste good roasted and that's for sure.
