Ron,

I gotta ask. It's been a couple years since I've been in the shop so, have you straightened up some, or are those old pictures.   :p  

BTW - you're shop and my buddies gun shop are two of my favorite places to hang. I think it's becuase you have the same wood stove...Can't be the history all around you.

Awesome thread. Makes me wish I used a camera a whole lot more.

I just went through the posts again.  I have enjoyed watching this as much as any subject on Trad Gang.  It gives us a small picture of the history of our sport.

Great thread guys. I have seldom enjoyed one more. I don't have a single picture from all my years of hunting. Most of the time didn't have a camera. The few I did have were destroyed by getting wet.

Charlie,

Coyotes are tough. I called this one in by kissing on the back of my hand. Didn't lead him enough and took him through the hams. I got him, but only after a looong tracking job and two more shots.

Ron... same as the one in my pic...EXCEPT the one arrow deal.
I never expected to stalk as close as I did, so that's why only one arrow. First shot on the trotting dog hit across the bridge of his nose. Had to run out in the field and retrieve the arrow. Second shot at 40 yards, coyote now running, hit through hip. He holed up and waited for me and after retrieving the arrow I finished him.
Lesson learned on that one.  :knothead:

This is probably one of the best threads I have been to ever. I love this site, there is no bashing of each others gear, no snide remarks, and none of this opinionated garbage that all the other sites have. If I can find it I want to post a picture of the person that introduced me to Archery, my grandmother. She was half Cherokee and the youngest of two daughters to my greatgrandfather. She was his Tomboy, so he taught her how to shoot and when he passed away, she got his longbow.

Ron. Who makes your buckskins and hats? Nice pics. Read something here about you moving and taking apart that den. Don't know how you could do it.

On my way to Friendship,IN for the NMLRA shoot About 1959/60--hard to believe I was ever that young!
   

1964- Canada had just opened Superior/Quetico area. Ron McDaniel and I spent a month in there. I wrote a story about it called "Clouds"(for Shooting Sportsman)
The hat is homemade from a fox I killed with a spear on our Farm.
   

Dr. Ron on the same trip. We had an old Grumman magnesium canoe....and a lot of stones for a couple of Hoosier weedbenders. We wandered around lost for a week, and I loved it.

Leftbow,

In the older pictures I posted I'm wearing buckskins I made myself. Teresa Asbell has made some nice skins for me, pants and shirt and also a couple of elkskin jackets, and an otterskin hat. She also makes some nice fur quivers. I've got one made of Wolverine and one of Bobcat she made for me.

If you're interested her email is [email protected]  She'll also have a booth at the Compton Rendezvous next month.

Took this muley in the rimrock country of eastern Wyoming.

I was able to work in ahead of this buck and another, plus two does.
The does ended up standing above me as I hunkered on the edge of a wash. I stood up between them and shot the buck at 15 yards. Double lung, watched him pile up in 50 yards.
