I put a lot of hours on stand, but no luck.

Hope is on her way to Jeremy Steflick.  Gun season has hit Illiois and with Thanksgiving thrown in, I was not going to get her out in the field much.  I figured I might as well let the next guy get the bow a little early.

I am not much of a recurve guy, but Hope is a shooter.  So much so in fact that I HAD to go and buy a used Orion recurve.  :bigsmyl:

Great job! They are a tough one to get an arrow into. I've been lucky to take 3 with the bow as well.

Well done Curt!!  A coyote with Trad gear is a fine trophy indeed, and with Miss Faith it makes it all the sweeter!!

Curt,

Great pictures and story. Coyotes are as much fun to hunt as deer, just harder to get with a bow. Congratulations on yours and thanks for sharing.

Great job!

Keep the good mojo coming for Miss Faith.  She'll have lots of blood on her by the time I get her in March-hope I can add a little more then!

Curt,

We are waiting with baited breath.  What the heck is baited breath?  Minnows?  Worms?  Sushi? YUK!

Well I'm waiting.

Sorry Mike...I did hunt on Saturday,same spot I shot the coyote 2 weeks ago... it's really the only spot I'll hunt during rifle season and feel safe.

I wanted to go to my bow only spot about and hour away, but that option wasn't available this weekend. That's where I really hope to kill at least a doe with Miss Faith.

But anyway I went back to my little bench on the river. Only saw a mangy looking red fox at about 60 yds.

Apparently the cold got to me and I felt terrible by mid day and rested up the remainder of the after noon hoping to hunt in the fresh snow on Sunday.

Woke up feeling bad and just couldn't bring myself to go....and I mean I wanted to hunt in the snow BAD!!  

So hopefully this weekend I can head south to my bow only spot and kill a deer.  If not. I'll be sitting on my bench....

Mike, While I have ya bud...you might want to start rounding off the bottom limb tips a bit.... the stringer that came with the bow is already developing a hole in it where the bottom limb tip puts pressure in the cup of the stringer.

 Just an observation....other than that there isn't a thing I'd change about that bow...she's a pleasure to shoot   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    

Looks like I'll be heading for the Doc in a day or two to see what's going on...just can't seem to shake it    :(
