Been bow hunting for 50 years, making bows for 20 years.

Never had to worry about amo.

I use a tape measure and a string jig.

And the bowyers knot works too.

Nice, Bue. Is it gonna be an ELB?

Buemaker · « **Reply #1626 on:** June 11, 2021, 06:24:21 PM »

Pat. A bit more shallow crosssection than an ELB and no horns. That is what the fellow wants.

Looking forward to your progress.

Small experiment. Yew staves sometimes have some black porous knots that have to me taken out. If the knot goes in at 90 degrees it kan be drilled out and plugged with a Yew plug. But if it goes in at an angle it is not suitable to drill a hole. I have then filled the hole with sinew thread plug saturated in hide glue. When plug is cured I figure it will be harder than the wood it self.(have not been a problem though) So today I made a sinew plug and a strip of hide glue and then I added 5% by dry glue weight glycerin and did the same. When it has cured we shall see if the glyserin mix is a bit softer and flexible. Well, I have to fill my day with something important.

Midnight behind our house. I just love the long summer evenings.Two deer was just 50 yards into the field, but went into the trees before I was able to take the picture

What kind of deer do you have bue? and how much do they weight?

Longcruise · « **Reply #1634 on:** June 12, 2021, 07:10:54 PM »

Took a grandson to a kids fishing contest. He's 14 and this is his last year he can participate. HOT 🔥 Fish are uncooperative. A bald eagle circled overhead. He had no luck either. The pelican seemed to be doing alright.

One of my dad's quotes from when I was a kid: "A very strange bird is the pelican, it's beak holds more than it's bellycan"

Nice Mike.

You got pelicans in Colorado?? I thought they were a coastal bird...

onetone · « **Reply #1637 on:** June 13, 2021, 05:05:10 AM »

Is that lake in the Laramie River drainage? I’ve white fresh water pelicans there,

Mad Max · « **Reply #1638 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:13:33 AM »

Pelicans in all 5, Bald Eagles too

Buemaker · « **Reply #1639 on:** June 13, 2021, 07:34:39 AM »

Max. Besides moose and reindeer(karibou) we have two deer species. Capreolus capreolus weight 25-45 kg and Cervus elaphus large male 250-300 kg, female 120-180 kg. The two I saw last night was the small ones.
