Great, first Tony shows us how to kill everything with a Snuffer, now he's gonna do it with vintage Bears.  I hope Frank doesn't take this thread as advertising for Snuffers or vintage Bears  :bigsmyl:

Early 70s Kodiak Hunter:

 

 

Stumping/scouting with a few blunts and Judos a week before season starts. The quiver is now loaded with those green footed woodies tipped with some older Zwickeys and Aces...

Thanks fellows for the kind words. Yes Cylic-Rivers I do have long armsLOL). Matter of fact I shoot full length carbon arrows, and the broadhead hits the front of the bow. Have any of you have any luck so far? I went out one day since our season here in Maryland opened this past Wednesday. I did not hear or see a bird. I will be at it again next week. Shoot Straight and Good Hunting

I hunted with my '61, 45# Bear Kodiak Magnum, and an old vintage 29" POC arrow tipped with my only '56 Bear Bubble-Head Razorhead. My son called a nice gobbler to within spitting distance the second weekend of GA bow season and I blew the shot. I hit too far back on a point blank shot and we were not able to recover the bird or find the Bubble Head.   :mad:  
I'm still using the same set up, but with '60 Razorheads.

Some good looking bows here, this is a fun thread.  Keep after them Chuck!  Kris, I'll be turning 40 with my turkey bow this year also (the Root above).  I haven't had any shots yet but have a couple tags for later seasons here in Wisconsin, hopefully will have more action then.

Hey Doug, did you get your bow back yet?
It looked amazing in the pics you sent me.

No bow yet Philip, but I do have a few turkey pic's, but first I need to say Thank You Felix for '64 Kodiak>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Got this bird about 8:30 this AM they never quit gobbeling once they hit the ground this AM. No more that a 5 yard shot and he made it about 70 yards. I will post a full story on Pow Wow later tonight.

'64 Kodiak and Bear Razorheads.
24 LBS on a bathroom scale ( for what that's worth)
9 3/4" beard and 1 inch spurs.

     

     


Thanks

Ya I know my string tracker is still on the bow but I've had some back luck the last 2 years and those Avain Zinx decory are worth the money.
