Steve Hohensee, a Blair, NE native, then moved to MO, and has been in AK for a good number of years lately, is the bowyer of the White Bisons. He has been married a year or two, and is a geologist out of Moose Pass, AK now. I think he is hunting in HI at this moment.
Anyway, I'm no expert on Steve's bows, but I do own two and they are very sweet. Several of the chapters in my book discussed hunts where I spilt blood with the White Bison. He had a loyal following but you have to earn a living, and quite frankly I don't know how any of you quality bowyers can do it on that alone. Folks complain about the costs of custom bows, yet don't realize the hours of blood, sweat and toil that go into these works of art. So Steve quit bowmaking as commercial venture, which is a loss to us.
Back to the White Bison. I'm a hunter, and not a bow expert by any means. But I know the White Bison was very well-received and he made them in a variety of different woods and other features. I only own four hunting weight bows: a Pronghorn takedown longbow, a Schafer silvertip recurve, and two White Bison.
