Thanks everyone.I am only 52 years old but i have had a full life in many ways.I could sit up all night around a camp fire telling hunting stories, camping trips,3 day canoe trips,flyfishing in the mountains,,,and still never tell them all.I have 7 kids and 6 grandkids too so i have always had company in my outdoor adventures.
Mudd, does your bow have roughly the same profile as a 59 model? Someone has a bunch of bear bows for sell in the classifieds and if you look at the pics he has of two 59 kodiaks, a 59 grizzly, and a 59 polar, the polar comes the clossest to the kodiaks.The grizzly has a much longer riser.I have been looking at old bear bows for sale on several other sites for a long time but most times they dont have listed what year they are.My first two real bows i had as a kid were a pearson hunter and a bear grizzly.I think the grizz was a late 60's bow but not sure.I remember my hubting buddy back then had one just like it.They shot great but we always drooled over the sexy pics of kodiaks in the hunting magazines,lol.There was an old man that owned a hardware store in Macon ,MS where i lived.His store was full of stuff and lots of old stuff, very old.He had hundreds of boxes of paper hull shotgun shells, old Peters brand.They smoked a good bit compared to modern shells, not black powder,and had a distinct smell.I can still smell it when i think of it.He had old cane fly rods, silk lines,,you name it.That is where i bought my bows at too.I can remeber like yesterday the first deer i took with that bow.I was kneeling on the ground in a thick palmetto patch and a doe stepped into view at around 30 yards.I aimed behind his should and let the arrow fly.I could see the arrow like in slow motion as it headed perfectly for my aim spot but just before the arrow got there the deer swapped ends in his tracks and the arrow struck her head on in the chest and burried to the feathers.I watched the deer run about 20 yards and crash.In our community back then shooting a deer with a bow was a rare thing so i was a famous person that year,lol.Aahhh, i think i need to get up with a bunch of you guys and sit up all night swappin huntin and fishin tales,,,it dont get much better than that.
