Found a lost arrow today - pic's

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I have a lost arrow story: I made some very small cedars for my son Danny when he was 6 years old (he's 19 now) fast forward to when he was 12....we were across the road from the cabin grouse hunting together, about 1/2 mile from the cabin....and we found one of his arrows. He said he used to cross the road while shooting his bow, but had no idea he ahad come that far...it scared the hell out of me to know my son had wandered that far into the bush. He shot those arrows for awhile, so he may have been as old as 9 or 10 when he lost it, but jeeez. I had shivers.

Yup that is a rarity       Good for you!  And great pics of where it came to rest!  

Perhaps you were never actually aiming at the woodchuck at all and were aiming at that branch the whole time!!  In that case....Good Shooting!!!!

Karen walked into the shop a couple of weeks ago with a flu flu that I had shot high into a tree 3-4 years earlier. The arrow was a blunt but it had lodged securely. It was no longer usable as the wood had partially rotted. However it was still good to get it back...like seeing an old friend after a long absence.

cool! i have quit a few burried around, i missed a buck one year with a beautiful wood arrow and zwickey eskimo, i looked and looked, never did find it. wife lost one to a shot at a grey fox this year. i did find one a few years ago while hunting west viginia, i was burried in the ground like it had been shot through a deer from a treestand and still had blood staines on it.

"That field point would have only made him mad. They take a heap of killing."

That's exactly what I was thinking.....

And Mike, I didn't know a flu-flu had a range of 25 miles!!!!

Ha ha! Read your post again, it sounds like you hunted one area one year then two years later wanted to try a different area and drove 25 miles away from the first area and found your flu-flu.  I'm guessing your "regular" area was 25 miles away from the area you hunted two years ago and when you tried someplace new it was back in the place from two years ago.  Had me scratching my head and gave me a good chuckle until I figured it out.

Hi Dave,

I think maybe Wingnut and I have something in else common..lol

One of my coon hunting buddies always told me one of the reason he enjoyed hunting with me is because no matter how many times we hunted one area he said it was like a new spot for me since I never remembered being there before..lol

God bless,Mudd

word of caution- I used to go antler hunting in the Boise Idaho foothills; where there was a December hunt for deer- often in snow.
 Wood arrows survived the winter- but the aluminum ones weakened bad enough on the side the sun hit them.
 I shot one of these from the hip and it blew up on take off. ssssssooooooo be careful with the aluminum ones.

I was out helping my buddy track a pig he had shot this year . We were following a good blood trail when I heard him say he found his arrow then " This ain't my arrow". 2 years earlier I had shot at my first deer, didn't find the deer or arrow. It was a cedar so it looks a little weathered now but I just stuck it up on the rack for conversations sake. Its always cool to find those lost arrows and reflect on the shot!!

Be glad you missed the ground hog. Wounding an animal with a field point is not a good thing.
Those things are tough to kill with a broadhead.

That looks just like one of my arrows! I was wondering what happened to it.

I found ten arrows on the range in the snow today, that breaks a record for me. In about twenty minutes or so.I try to return them if I can but we need to start a lost and found for arrows at Aurora Res. I have managed to return or find good homes for a lot of them over the last couple years. The others I make into stumpers and test arrows.
