El Cheapo the homemade longbow scores 2!
« on: December 18, 2007, 07:48:00 PM »
The detailed story can be found on the Georgia thread at:

 http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=34;t=000412

But, the longbow I built this summer in a build-along right here has had a stellar inaugural season.  A young forkie early in the season, a doe before Thanksgiving, but today was something else!  After not seeing a single deer since my daughter killed on spike with the rifle, I ended up taking a doe, the 15th deer I'd seen this morning.  Then 2 minutes later a forkie comes trotting by the same trail, but with only one buck tag left, he got a pass to grow up.  Then another 2 minutes goes by, and another deer comes down the hill, nose the the ground - followed the exact same path as the doe I just shot.  Big mistake.  Shot him within two feet of where the arrow from the doe was sticking in the ground.  Man, I picked the right day for vacation!  

 

Merry Christmas, all.  I think Santa came early for me! Steve  :bigsmyl:
