Hello all,
Actually y'all, I wasn't hunting like out in the woods on a hunting trip. I had a buddy that had a trailer a 1/4 mile off the road, the spot and yard was carved of the woods and his driveway was just a sandy dirt driveway out to the sho'nuff road. I was visiting, shooting a few arrows with him and told him I was going to stroll up his drive way (which was lined with scrub growth) and back and see if I could spot a rabbit or something. So I just took off walking, flip flops and all.

By the way, one moon lit night he and his wife came out on the porch to drink a cold one and enjoy the night. They let their toy poodle out to romp and roll in the sand of their parking area. And lo and behold, while they sat there watching a huge owl swooped down and took that tiny dog off. Donna was crying telling me about it a day or so later, saying she could hear the dog screaming and yelping as it flew away and up to the tree tops and off in the woods, then it sounded like or seemed to be in one spot (probably lit in a tree) and suddenly one last yelp and silence!

She was upset and all but that was the funniest thing to to picture them sitting there, smoking a joint and drinking their beer to the light of the full moon, watching that tiny poodle waller and kick around in the sand and a big owl swoop down and take off with it. I can just picture that scene! It is still funny to me!

I paint a right eye (ocular dexter as opposed to ocular sinster - evil eye) right above the grip so the bow can see where it is shooting.  seems to work well.    :)

I've tried every way I know of to post the kilt picture... no luck but I did send a copy to a friend asking him if he would try it. It may yet appear if his old eyes don't go out on him from having to look at my legs..lol

Hey Mudd,
Go to Photobucket and upload your pic from your computer to there, then you can put the direct link here when you click on "image". tThat is what I finally did.

Hey Mudd,
BTW, actually I have thought of getting me a kilt many times, and still plan on it when I can afford it. I like the informal look with hiking boots and jacobite shirt as opposed to the formal affair. But if I could afford all that I would have the formal affair also to wear to formal events and/or functions. But to outdoor events like the Scottish festivals they have here once a year I would rather wear an informal kilt s I described. I want to get my kilt in the Bruce Tartan, since I am descended from one of the Septs of that Clan.

Whew, glad that did not work Mudd!

That medieval costume would work for deer hunting, just stand in an opening in the woods and be very still. When the deer sneak in to investigate what the heck it is - twang!

Nice designs on your bow. Ed Scott of Owl bows does some great artwork on his bows and Mike Yancy of Pine Hollow does some fine designs too.

Here is a take down self bow called Nettle

Dang, I forgot to add that I like kilts. I bet they are comfortable to wear when hiking or something, sort of cool and "airish".

I think you should paint a design on your dress, too.

Well I really like the helmet.  That would look good while riding the motocycle.
 Terry, that bow looks great.  :thumbsup:  
and I feel sorry for them and the poodle, I see nothing funny in that.  :pray:

One year at Cloverdale a guy had one of those all black BlackWidows they used to make. On the back side of the limbs he painted roses with leaves and vines. Coolest thing you ever saw.

I feel bad for the folks who lost a dog to an owl. We had a bald eagle kill a cat, and it aint a funny scene.
The birds have to eat too, but I feel for the pets.

Cool bow, Terry

Have you killed anything with it?
