I will say that one of the things that was neat about being in a traditional bow hunting camp is all of the home made equipment. From Bill's quiver to Larry's bamboo arrows to Dale's knives.
 Again thanks everyone for a great time!

That is a great thing about it. Bill Terry also made his broadheads and fletched his arrows with feathers from a turkey he killed. Last year one of the Phillipse boys, Patrick I think, killed his bear with an arrow he made from a river cane.

Had a great time, road in with Larry and Jay had been a while at since my last  B.Q. and even longer with my freinds Larry,Jay ,Tom ,Bill and Bowdoc and Mike.Quickly got introduced to the other hunters I drew the glove stand first nite and saw a bear far off no shot.I was not real sure abount that stand so close to bait when I pulled to full draw being short ,limbs would touch bottom of stand.I asked Tom to try another empty stand Beaver Pond.Did not see anything there so after a couple tries I went back to the Glove.With good light still I saw a Bear coming my way from behind bait setup.Still behind the bait which gave me plenty of clearance for my bow.The bear stopped and decided to make a left turn which opened her right side behind the leg and my arrow went just where I was looking.The bear took off and the death moan was fast and over in a few seconds.She was a medium size bear but looked really big in the fading light but ground shrinkage did her part.I was really proud of my shot and outcome.Kip   If any body has a pic please post I did not get a pic on my camera.
