Mike,
That whisle pig hide can make some tough leather.  Good shot.

[J.T.]

Shot this buck on Janurary 1, 2007 the last day of michigans bow season on a deer drive with some friends the shot was 20 yards on the run

[deertraks]

Man J.T., that was a good shot.

MIKE, HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT QUIVER? LOOKS LIKE ONE I GOT MY EYE ON RIGHT NOW...4 ARROW? VELCRO STRAPS??

[Landshark160]

This doe came in really late yesterday afternoon, 7:53 to be exact. Gave me a shot at 10 yds. It was dark enough that I didn't know if it was a buck or doe. Couldn't see my arrow in flight, but the shot felt good. She ran off about 20 yds. and stopped. After she stands there for about 5-10 seconds, I'm thinking "Did I miss that deer?" After 20 seconds, I'm sure that I missed her. Then, all of a sudden, she bolts and makes it about 10 more yards before she goes down. I'm convinced she never knew what hit her.

Good Job Chris, Did a Land Shark 160 do her in???Don

[mike hall]

Thanks guys hope to post again soon with an osage-whitetail connection.  

Wendell, it's a strap on Great Northern Quiver that holds 5 arrows and is held on by rubber straps with several holes to fit any size limb.
Love it!!!   :D

No Don, this time I was using an Interceptor with an experimental single-bevel grind.  Not too much to report on it as I didn't hit much bone.  Only about 3/4 of a rib going in.  I did notice a slight "S" shape to the cut in the rib.  Here's a pic of the head:

Congrats Again Chris.  

[The Singing Bowyer]

Here's my first of this year, and a fine way to start! I was using a snakey piece of black locust I tillered out to 62# at 27", 66" long, backed with timber rattler. I call her "Big Medicine".

By far my best day of shooting, and I hope to do so well this weekend on a little bigger game....

 

[uncowboy]

WOW How many shots did you get to bag 5 ?

[Alsea]

Cervus canadensis roosevelti

     

Local critter, shot him about 2 miles from the house.

DAS riser, W&W carbon/maple limbs, 60", 55#@28, 410 grn arrow, 125 grn Muzzy Phantom 4 blade, 31 yards, pass through, heard him crash. Hunted solo, 18 days, afternoons until dark, shot him at 6:08 PM Sept. 11, '07

     

Interesting rack, I will do a European mount.

     

Typical Roosie, huge body, smallish rack...he's four or five years old, going by his teeth...oh yeah, can you say dee-lish-ous????  

[Danny Rowan]

Wow, seasons are really starting to heat up, great job all. Wish the rain would stop here so I could go chase some pigs or Sambar deer.

Alsea, That is awsome! Great photos.            

[slayer1]

Here's my first deer with the longbow. Shot her last Wednesday Sept 5. Used a Dwyer 56# @28 64" long. With a GT 3555 traditional arrow tipped with a 160 grain land shark. I shot her at 23 yards, back of the lungs she only ran about 60 yards before she piled up. It was a fun day!

Looks like its going to be a banner year...and I'm going to take the selfbow I made a few years ago next time.
