This story is getting long, ain't it?    Any rate, the elk did'nt pan out for us this weekend....so the last morning I set up to fill another doe tag, with "Frankenstein"....

 

 

And so the saga will continue....

My new bow performs flawless, and shoots like a dream.....a hand-planed fir shaft tipped with a wensel woodsman this time did the trick.   Shooting selfbows is a truly rewarding thing for this hunter, especially when they prove up to the task that I build them for....fun stuff.  

That's all for now, hope you enjoy the story.

Cool bows Mark and fine shooting on the two does. Placement looks like short blood trails. Thanks for the ride along on the hunt. Don't know if I could have made that evening hunt with the cat watching!

Hey thanks for reading, Kyle, Rusty and Woody.   Hey Shaun, I'm still working on the new song "Death by Natural Causes", and stuff like this sure helps motivate me.    

I never know if people are interested in reading this stuff, it's pretty norm around here...except for the cat experience!   Thanks again guys, I'm heading up there again on Friday.

Mark, Congrats to you and your son. Thats a dandy buck he shot and you made a beautiful shot on the doe. Real nice! I'd love to get up that way sometime but I suppose I'm better thermally designed for trout season as deer season gets too damn COLD!  :scared:  

You guys keep giving em hell! CK

Mark,  This is Brad from PA.  Congrats to you and Kory.  I't's cool to see your stone head worked flawlessly.  Our archery season started Sat sept 29th.  It's been in the mid 80's here.  Too warm!  I still gotta join that PBS man.  I can't keep puttin' that off.  Been hunting w/ the Sheepeater and it's shooting great.  Now i just gotta see a leagal deer worthy of an arrow.  I can't wait till the PBS thing in Pittsburgh.  If i get a deer or something with this bow, i'll post the pic on Tradgang.  How has the elk hunting been going lately?  Keep us updated.
Keep the sun at your back and the wind in your face.

Thanks for the pics.  It's work but it makes the thread so much more fun and helps transform a desk chair into a treestand seat.  That camo blends well with your surroundings.

Mark the stand you have sitting over that elk wallow is awesome. i could sit there every day all day and just look out at the beautiful landscape. now the big cat encounter is something to cherish for sure.

o' and sweet shot on that whitetail, can't get any better than that.

Great stuff, Mark!  The new Sheepeater is awesome!
I'm thinking about taking it out this Saturday when Josiah and I go hunting.  Finally a day to go out when he's not working.

I feel now that my bow has a little Montana Mojo in it!  Keep the stories coming, please!

Thanks everyone for reading...I'll keep the updates coming.   Kevin, looking forward to my time in Illinois and PBS fun too!    

Curt and Curtis....can't wait for you're stories as well.  

Lee, glad the bow arrived okay, and that you're liking it.  Mine certainly fills a niche in my aresenal.   Great little bows.

I'm off for the weekend again, Friday morning sometime.   It's supposed to be cold with perhaps some snow....good hunting in the snow!

Mark, thanks for the stories and pics. It helps with those of us who are pretty much done for the year. Good luck this weekend. Love the lines on Frank and his Bride.
