Know how I know deer season is officially in? Brian shows up LOL. Howdy Brian.   :wavey:  Hows life up north?

Bow info from Jim's email

Bow is a 50# Osage selfbow, 72" long with a slight whip-tiller. It's a take-down I used in Alaska.
Arrow is a cedar footed with Osage, vented Magnus two blade, 600 grains total. Wild turkey fletching.
The buck liked the setup.

This man in my opinion, is one of the sparks that lit the "do-it-yourself" bow making fire that has inspired alot of us. I remember the early years at Marshal Michigan when Jim Hamm,Jay Massey,Ron Hardcastle and others shared their knowledge of bow making. I thank them all for the way I hunt today. Although some are no longer with us,it is great to see those who are still here, are out there proving that the simple stick & string is capable of taking elk,moose,deer and all other types of game. Thank you Jim and Congrats   :thumbsup:
