I doubt that a lot of you will recognize the hunter in this picture. Like so many he used to be a regular and you could always count on the accuracy of his statements. Also like so many he had drifted on to other endeavors making little time in a busy life to visit here.
His name is Curtis Kellar and he and I have trod many trails together. When the chips are down I know he'll be there helping shoulder the load if not taking on more than his share. I thought for a while he was going to work himself to death, but I knew the lure of the bow would get him in the end.
So here is a pic of Curtis "Littlefeather" and a very nice free range Axis buck taken at 12-13 yds. The second pic shows the deadly effect of his aim. The buck ran a paced 63 steps.
He's back to making some really nice selfbows again and that's one in his picture. It's a 60" 47# Osage self bow without a shelf. The arrow was a river cane shaft with a Magnus I up front.
