This is BoBo the blood trailing pig. He's my little friend and doesn't know he's not a dog.

Greg from South Alabama,
Congrats on those two Alabama Deer!  Like you, I love Lynn Harrelson's bows.  Killed my first deer with a Harrelson T/D recurve that I still hunt with today.  And I have got to say that everybow that I have ever shot which was made by Lynn was a real shooter.  I shot his longbows as well as I shoot my recurve.  Ive shot the reflex deflex longbow as well as the new all wood bow.  And it does shoot great.  Now tell me, did you shoot those deer with Simmons heads?

I shot this buck Monday morning. Great Northern Fireball 52#@28", 697 gr. larch arrow tipped with a 145 gr. Eclipse broadhead. 8 Yd. shot, saw him fall after about a 75 yd. run.

Douglas,  
I must confess I do not use simmons heads, but only because I cannot sharpen them to my liking.  I killed one of the deer with a magnus head and the other was killed with a zwickey delta.  I also use STOS heads with one of my bows.  If you notice in the pics, I do use a Simmons System Quiver and love it.

Jack,
Congratulations and nice shot!

Chris,
Thats a really nice buck!  I only have a spike and several does in the bag with traditional gear.  I have seen several nice bucks, but can't get them in range of my longbow.

Here is a little one I got this weekend. I blew it on the big one! If you're going to use an arrow holder with self nocks be sure to pinch the arrow when you pull the bow back. Otherwise you'll pull the string right off the arrow.

Big bucks on the prowl don't stand around long enough for that

Opps, I think I meant "bear" with me, not "bare". Anyway, it looks like the photo worked.  That previous photo was of a small Sitka black-tail I got in late October in Alaska. Here's an elk that filled the freezer back in September. The elk was my first longbow kill.

[Wary Buck]

I've had a good season with the stick thus far and it isn't over just yet.  This fall has been just crazy with demands at work and being a father of young daughters so I haven't spent much time on the computer at work at lunch.  It's now rifle season in NE and since I tagged out Sunday on a nice buck in IA I've had a bit of time to get caught up.  Hope you all don't mind me sharing my success with you here.

I killed this first buck Sept. 20 in NE from the ground at 21 yards.  I'm using a 55# 64" Pronghorn takedown longbow and Wensel Woodsman heads.
