knappy head
« on: May 16, 2007, 08:44:00 PM »
I was wondering if anyone uses knaped heads to kill deer size game. I have not made any yet but I can not look at a pretty piece of flint or stone without thinking that would make a nice head>I think this might turn into another hobby.
I will have to do some reading..

Yes people do.  If you have ever seen the best and wosrt of Tred Barta I believe he uses them almost all the time. I think i even remember seeing him take a moose with one.   If they were good enough for indians there good enough for me.

hey, Woody.

Some of the pics on that favorites thread you linked to were missing.

Do you want me to see if I can find them on my puter at home, and email them to you so you can fill the slots back?

I think you are missing the pigs in the walk in cooler for one! I am pretty sure I have that one, and the one of you skinning with the amoeba knife

Well that's immediately what came to my mind   :biglaugh:  

My first hunt with flint I missed a whitetail up in Michigan when my arrow was deflected by a pine branch. It buried the head in a black oak, destroying the shaft and chipping the tip off the head. The next spring I went after hogs in Florida.I had one flint head with me and 3 trade point arrows. I shot a big boar in the neck with the flint head (it turned on me just as I shot) and although I got good penetration and it bled well, it didn't immediately kill it and I finished it off with a trade point tipped arrow. So I don't count that a kill with flint. The next fall/winter I used a flint head to kill a whitetail here in Ohio (things die easier if you hit them in the right spot with the first shot LOL). I'm currently turkey hunting with flint heads but haven't gotten a shot yet.

I know Dean Torges, Doug Campbell, Tim Ott, Ralph Conrad, and Matt Graesch, just to name a few have all killed deer with flint heads.
