I got my first deer with a bow and arrow that I made myself! I carried this osage self bow for the past two years trying to take game of some kind with it. I took it on two hog hunting trips and numerous deer hunts with out a shot. I finally got a chance at a deer opening week this year, but I missed. :( Finally yesterday I got a shot at this doe and made good on it! :D This was not the first deer I have killed and definatly not the biggest, but I have to say it was the most satisfying! I made the bow and made the arrows out of tonkin cane shfts. I also twisted the string myself. This was one of my goals when I started shooting traditional and primitive archery to take an animal with equipment I made myself. I guess my next step forward or backwards, however you want to look at it would be to learn how to knap stone heads good enough to use to hunt with!

I totally understand!!!

My memory still allows me to experience that same satisfaction every time I'm reminded of it with a story just like yours.

Not that there are tons of them but a good number of folks are members of the same primal hunt experience.

Congratulations!!!

God bless,Mudd

Nice job, I am on the same quest, have also missed one but didn't get a shot this year. I made my self bow two years ago and haven't used stone points but do make my own arrows. Congrats on your deer.

Thanks everyone for the comments! I was starting to get frustrated at myself for not being successful on my hunts, but it made me think about my setups and hunt smarter. It finally paid off! I still got a few hunts left this year, so I'll see if I can do it again!
