my dog ate my sinew!
« on: November 12, 2007, 06:32:00 PM »
Shot a fine doe last night just before sunset.  Spine shot with my 94# Hill, 1000 grain hickory shaft, and 2 blade Magnus head.
Skinned her out and boned the meat.  Kept most all the sinew for backing a special bow this winter.  

While feeding my dogs.  They ran over and ate the whole pile!!!!!  I am really sad about this.
Damn dogs!!

O'h well, 2 tags left, so I suppose I can collect more this year.  Just venting.  Thanks.

I know how you feel, I had a springer, that had pups, and she ate a whole beaver hide that I had drying on a hoop. When she had pups, she would eat anything.

My golden ate a beautiful pair of snake skins last week. I had planned on putting those on a longbow I'm building. I hope they were good.

Look on the brighter side, at least the dog ate the sinew before you had put it on the bow.   :scared:  

Don’t ask how I know.  :knothead:  Dang dogs, ya got to love them regardless of thier (for lack of a better description) mis-behavior.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I was wondering how long it would be before you chimed in on this one, Walt!

Justin, like Walt said....better they ate it now than after it is on the bow...or processed for that matter.    Bet you don't make that mistake again!

I figured Baker would expose my ignorance about where I left the sinew laying.  Yes, it is more my fault than his.  We have made ammends and he is once again being offered dog food........

Going to head out this afternoon and try for another deer.  Thanks for your support guys!!

Warrior, Im just curious. Did your arrow blast through the spine or did it lodge in it? My dogs  chewed the nose off my best buck while I was preparing for a skull mount. Thanks. Gilbert

Not 'sprized 'bout the dogs. My Pa gets an over-abundance of deer sinew from a local butcher each fall. He processes it for bows. Throws away what he doesn't need, but saves a bunch and gives it to his Lab for the occasional chew treat. They love the tough, crunchy sinew sticks.

when the ST. Jude's auction was going on this year i put up some elk Ivory's for bid..
well it was getting towards the end of the auction and i thought i had better get them out of the skulls, so i soaked em for a day or so,
then took them over in my lawn to knock the Ivory's out.
well i knocked a couple out and set them down in the lawn and went to get another skull.
on my way back i seen my shorthair gobble them up.
OH NOOOOOO!!!! NOW WHAT AM I GONNA DO....
well i kept a good eye on her, and every time she would go out to fertilize my lawn i would go dig around in the fertilizer, well two days later and much to my relief i got em back...
but please don't nobody tell  NAKOHE cuz hes the one that bought em....
