Just wondering who has taken a deer or any other big game with stone points? If so, any pics or story?

In the highlights section for this year, Tommy Leach has a story about killing a black bear with selfbow, & stone point.

This is a youtube video Shaun Woods made here in Oregon. He documented the making of knapped arrowheads. He then takes them out on a Blacktail deer hunt and shows the results and penetration.  The bow he is using is a yew wood selfbow he made also.

Back in 1998 and 1999, when Illinois first legalized stone points; I hunted from the ground with my osage selfbow, rivercane arrows, and stone heads. I was one of the first in Illinois in modern times to take a deer with a flint head. At the time; I was on the Illinois DNR equipment committee. After killing the doe; I made a report to the DNR on the effectiveness of the stone head. The next year, I took my biggest bodied buck ever, using an obsidian head. He weighed over 300lbs, and had a 24" spread. I shot him at about 15 yards from the ground, and he went 75 yards before crashing. The obsidian head did amazing damage, and held up great.

These story's are awesome and inspiring I'm going to try to harvest a stave next august and build a bow, but I think napping stone points will be more challenging

Jeff, I know you have a stone point.  You should put it to good use!

Dannys, you may want to harvest your stave now so it has time to dry.  The experts will chime on drying time.  The osage stave I am working on now has been drying for 10 years but of course that is not the norm for drying staves.

I have killed one deer with one of my stone points.  I used a 40# Steve Turay Northern Mist Baraga  longbow, an arrow that I made out of yellow birch and a flint head I knapped out of Flint Ridge material.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
