Selfbow Harvests 2020
« on: February 02, 2021, 08:05:13 AM »
Lets see some of your harvest from the 2020-21 wrap around season. I know where we have hogs and non native critters its still going on.

This was the first in Sept. Small target and not the best shot but this button went down within 25yds.

Enjoy

I really need to make it a priority to take something with the selfbow I built in 2000.

Yeah Terry,
just have to hang the other bows up til you get yer animal. I shoot these as good as any glass bow I ever had so I figgered I'm not giving anything up.

Think this was the deer I took in early October. I called the lone doe over with a light doe grunt. Shot her at about 12-13yds and she ran around me up ridge. Stayed in tree as it was to early to quit hunting and this small buck came along and I shot him right where doe was standing. Problem was they ran up on same trail bleeding and i could not for the life of me tell which blood was which. As poked along I ran up on the buck piled up. Upon grabbing him to drag up hill a bit I heard the doe crash out of a thicket. I found her a short time later in creek.

Smag has been a close trad brother for many years. We share texts, during, at least 40 hunts per season, talk year around and share the enjoyment of many trad shoots each year. He lives and breathes and even smells selfbow.

The selfbow game is a level above my skills in pursuing my own personal goals. Yet, I will work towards harvesting a deer this coming season.

I highly admire, appreciate and realize the additional challenge. Smag’s seemingly no end of successes, paints an illusion thus, masking the arduous challenge.

I salute all of the selfbow hunters which are committed to running the gauntlet.

Yeah, well. I just hunt many many days per season. A few days per season I have an arrow fly straight.  :)

Times ten add 100 and prolly that number is short.

 I been at it that long and will bounce over triple digit SB harvests in next couple years. We prolly skinned out mid double digits this season together. Lots like to hunt but many dont want to fool with taking care of it. Think I got 8 freezers full or part way full and every bit will get ate in 2021.

LIVIN in good deer country with very high herd numbers and harvest quota's is a blessing I reckon.

One eye was a gnarly old buck.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

He was. Was staring right at me when I let arrow go. Prolly why he never ducked or flinched until that arrow smashed into him. He was beat up pretty good, missing an eye and cuts scrapes on back and neck. Jesse brain tanned his hide and he could  still see the scarring there.

Here you go Smag. Yearling spike-fork black-tailed buck. 8.75 miles from the truck backpack hunt.
Did you use stone points?
