great day on the mountain (pic heavy)
« on: August 14, 2011, 09:24:00 PM »
had a great day roaming the mountain with my good buddy Charlie (CylicRiver) and my new Northen Mist Shelton. Charlie had quite a find right in the begining, never let it be said he don't have a pot to pee in!!! this was just a "staged" pic, nothing was pee'd upon in this pic.

not an acorn to bee seen, i hope it is just to early. however there are a TON of great beech on the ground and deer feeding on them heavily.

Best part is, IT'S MINE!  :bigsmyl:  

seriously, It's a Big River Long Bow Made in WI. I bought it used off a fellow TG'er who lives in Western NY. I already had a Big River which I LOVE!!! and wanted another with similar specs in case I ever had a fatality.

I thought I would hate this bow before I bought it, but my gut was telling me otherwise.  Don't tell my other bows on the rack but it's currently my favorite.  as Ron said, It's a sweetheart!

Hey Ken, nice pics. But after seeing your Bowie, I think that bear might have to put a purty good fight to win that match,lol. Mike
