I also like Stratera's idea of an Oregon TG elk hunt with Hill bows. If this idea turns into a serious proposal I'll certainly be interested.

[bicster]

Georgia sounds fun to me RC. What time of year?

[Wannabe1]

Roos, that is a good looking bow! I too like the idea of a Hill style elk hunt. If something comes of it and my work situation will allow for it, I'd be interested. You guys keep me in the loop please.

O.K. All this talk and all these pics are about to get me in trouble - again. I have admired (read: "coveted") either a Redman or Halfbreed, or both, for some time now. I am getting weak and may just be forced to cave in and order one. I have read the warranty on Hill bows, but I sure wish the guarntee included a good divorce lawyer, 'cause at the rate I'm going I may need one. My wife just does not understand that 5 Hills don't make a collection, they only make a fair beginning of one.

Sam you don't have a Redman or a Halfbreed? Sounds like there is a need for some consoling, if your wife won't allow it.  I could offer you one of mine but my wife is only allowing me to give away recurves these days.

Good idea RC--hog hunting with Hill style bows!!

I wonder if this thread will hit 1000 posts?

I get my HH Elephant Bow back from Craig this coming week. I will post some pictures.

Never heard of this bow company but, his bows look exactly like a Hill.

Ga. has excellent public land to hunt. If I were a fella that did`nt have a lot of hunting opportunities I would come down late september or October. Good deer hunting and pigs.License run for a year so you could plan a hunt and come back next year for the price of gas.Lot of Northern fellas want to hunt in Jan and feb to escape the cold but it is the worst time here for hunting.If you guys want to put something together I will help with the where.RC

I tell ya RC, right now a hog hunt sounds good. I'll keep an eye out and see how it goes. That's a hunt I've always wanted to do.

Good shooting RC!

That one looks like he could make a the main entree all by his lonesome...lol

Thanks for sharing RC.

God bless,Mudd

[Cookus]

That's a BIG squirrel RC!   I too like the sounds of a HH hunt in Gawgia!

RC,
A Hill hunt sounds to me like a great idea!  Same for Buddy's OR elk hunt.  Any kind of hunt anywhere as a group would be awesome!   Maybe it could become an annual event - who knows.  

This group here is like being around a campfire with friends and family.  Don't get me wrong, the rest of the gang is awesome as well.  You guys took the time to pull me back into my first love of archery - the Hill-style longbow.  You're a great bunch!

Rich,  
Thanks for posting the pic!  That "Skookum" is a handsome some feller  indeed!  I see we are the same age! - just weeks apart.  1953 was a good year...LOL

[Rooselk]

Glad you liked the pic. The elk didn't. When I went outside to take the pic there were several roosey cows in the backyard. Wish I could have got the pic with them in the background. But it wasn't to be. They hopped the fence and went to the cow pasture next door.   :D  

And, yes, 1953 was a very good year. It marked the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Witchery of Archery by Maurice Thompson and the 30th anniversary of the publication of Saxon Pope's classic book, Hunting with the Bow & Arrow. In addition, Howard Hill's book, Hunting the Hard Way, was first published in 1953.
