Hope and Faith Sarrels of 2014

[chinook907]

Spotted a decent bear early on, but he was in a loud spot.  Decided to leave him be, and look for him later in the day; maybe he'd be in a quieter stalking location.
.
Never saw him again after I walked away from him though       .  But here he is then:

And another of him, just above the brush line.

The little black spot in the middle of the pic in the green circular opening is a toad of a bear that I saw briefly before he disappeared into the spruce for the rest of the day.  Had a lot better view of him thru my 10x binos.

Tim,

Excellence pic's of Faith!  Looking for some Red to go along with the Blue berries.

Saw two other bears several miles away at the end of the day, they may as well have been in Australia for the little daylight I had left and the miles I had on my legs.  They were just little spots even in my binos.
.
That was it for critter action.  It will haunt me that I couldn't get out more with the Faith bow but I'm very thankful for the time I had with it.
.
As of today it is in the mail to Bud B and I must say that the critters on the East Coast will be living dangerously !
.
It did rain a bit in the middle of things the other day but the scenery afterwards more than made up for it.  Thanks again to the Sarrels tribe for some time with one of their creations.

That last pic is amazing! You're so very lucky to actually be there and witness that beauty with your own eyes.

I just arrived home to find a torpedo next to the door. My wife had to sign for it. Faith is now in NC! I'll open her in the AM.

I understand what folks are saying about the package and shipping now, Tim. OUCH! Shipping from AK is a booger!!

Will post more tomorrow.

I grabbed a single Surewood Douglas Fir arrow 60/65 from the arrow crock and went to the deer target. 190 up front.

After just a few minutes the green disc (a large pool noodle slice) was getting hit regularly from 15 yards. I think I have found the arrow combo for her. Magnus made'em for me a few years ago to my specs, and no, I am not a Green Bay Packers fan. I just like the colors. I came back inside on this shot.

Whip would be proud of your color choice       Don't those Sarrels shoot sweet ... I am still dinking around with arrow combos, I thought I had it then changed to some newly fletched Bemin MFX Classics that shoot real nice too ... plus I do have some 60/65's I got from Papa Frank I may have to try too            I head out Suday for a few days dove hunting, with my shot gun, and then on to deer and then maybe elk the next few weeks. Elk closes the 14th ... my new Titanium ankle is coming along nicely so I hope I will at least get to scare something. My distance will be limited but I know a few honey holes if the weather and the rut cooperate.

You Boys need to get something red on those arrows to break up all those "Cheezy" colors  

[Bud B.]

Sept 13th opens NC's season. An agonizing wait...tick-tock.....

Cheezy colors .... I'm still try'n to get the FROG goo off Hope, red is on the way be patient. I'll smear some huckleberry blood on an arrow before October gets here,

I have Hope all packed up and we head out in about two hours to go dove hunting for two days, deer hunting for four or five days and finish up with elk for four or five days ... I will be taking lots of pics    

Good luck, ken!

Bud stopped by tonight and brought Faith with him. She is a really nice shooting bow. I really love the small grip on her. I really hope Bud gets a deer early with her. I would love to try and get one with her too.

[Bud B.]

Still tinkering with Faith. I made up some 60/65 cedars with some 125gr points. I'm going to try 145gr next on them.

I called Bob and we had a brief but nice chat about Faith. He recommended an 8" brace.

Bob makes a nice bow for sure. And Bob seems like a fella I could hang around with easily. Good thing for ya Bob that I don't live near you. I'd be a pest around the shop, I'm sure. Thanks for taking time to talk with me.

Was thinking about hitting Waccamaw, Damon. But not in this ungodly heat!!
