TEXAS SWEAT 06 ...Tales of the Hunts...Clips start pg 8

[Terry Green]

Glad I got to share in your joy Jeff....and to one heck of a Javie blood trail      Nice shootin!

[OH at work]

Great pics guys and looks like you all had a great time  Couple of questions about these javies--any broadheads seem to be better than others.  Also, a friend of mine in Texas says you need some kind of tag or permit to shoot nongame species.  Anyone know if there is any truth to that?  Going down there in October myself so was curious.

I can't say who shot what in terms of broadheads, but my javie fell in less than 40 yds to an ACE 200 gr. super express and Ben's fell to a Simmons land shark (160 gr. I think) in about the same range.  I did hit one with a smaller trade point I built with a single left bevel (to go with the turn of my fletching) and a tanto tip as per Dr. Ashby's report and tho I didn't find it, I did have a blood trail.  I'm not sure if he survived or the coyotes got 'im.

I've always shot 2 blade magnus or zwicky.  But learning how to sharpen those WW and seeing the hole on the side of the javie has converted me.  Shooting lower poundage, they fly great and have no trouble penetrating...tippit

This was kinda a neet picture I took on the first day.

 

Like I said earlier, I shot over the first javi. I was sitting too close to a log I was behind and slapped my bow limb upon release. I managed to redeem myself the next morning at the same distance. 5 yards.

 

and the hero pic.

[the Ferret]

That 1st pic is a dandy CK. That's an awful pretty bow too!

[Terry Green]

There's the hero pic I was telling you about Mickey.

 

[HARL]

Great pics guys.CK you are the man!!!!

[Littlefeather]

Thanks guys! That's some of Mark Hornes handywork. Thats the new Brushbow, the finest Hybrid I ever laid my grubs on.

Terry, did I miss something? CK

[tippit]

For some reason CK's pictures didn't post for me?  tippit

[bayoulongbowman]

CT , that has to be some of the prettiest cocobolo and bocote on that beautiful Mark Horne bow...how many bow kills ya got now??? with her??? ty, Mark#78          :D    

[Littlefeather]

Couldn't tell ya Marco. I try and keep the measure of the moment in the depth of the memory. Countin seems to leave me feeling like I'm competing. It's been a really good bow though! CK

[Terry Green]

Nah Curtis......you aint missed a thing brother...just keep up-loadin!!!    

Jeff,

CK's pics are on the Trad Gang server so you should be able to view them just fine and dandy.

[OH at work]

CK,
How do those ribteks work on those javies and hogs?  Looks pretty good from what I saw!!

[beachbowhunter]

Joe, I've come to the conclusion that any good 4 blade will work on these things. I killed two with Stingers and they took them down in literally seconds and both within 15 yards. The key is totally in the shot angle and placement. My first was basically at the opposite angle to Curtis' above and lets just say the exit wound wasnt nearly as pretty! With all of its insides hanging out, the darned thing still never bled. You need to hit where you aim and stand still and listen to where you think it fell. Flag the spot of the shot and the closest point to where it stopped. Then you go get yourself some lunch or dinner, put on your leather gloves and any other armour you have and "git after it".

In fact, the night tracking may have been my favorite part of the whole experience.    

[Littlefeather]

I do here-by nominate Norbert to be next years night time game tracker. Glad you enjoy it. I got into the thickest brush on the planet one night tracking for Charlie. Just about the time I found a place where I could sit upright without getting a skull full of thorns, a hog grunts at me from 15-20' away. I just said to myself, "self, you are about to get eaten". Nowhere to run even if I had enought blood to let. Waaaayyyyy to thick with cut-brush! The hog obviously thought so as well!

Here is a final pic for the weekend. My spray season has begun and there will not be much of anything but work for the next few months. Dad shot video one evening as I long shot for frogs around the ponds. I think the final tally was 9. We got every shot on film. Good weekend fellas! Hope yall get some bowhunting in somewhere before Monday. CK

Man has this thread grown. I haven't had a chance to even look at it until tonight. I will have a story or 2 later. Most fun I've had for sometime. A great bunch of guys I would hunt with anyday I could. I got home 10:30 Monday night, My mother was operated on Thursday for cancer. I've been busy..... I hope to get on here soon and tell my stories too.... This was great fun.... as Dave said mught want to change the name to Ticksass sweat. They kinda grossed my wife out. Bob
