First selfbow kill
maddog314:
I love the story. I wish my hunting story ended with a deer. Just lots of missing the deer ( I am having a hard time judging my distances)
How much did she weigh?
half eye:
Nice first !!! Ya do know that from now on, there aint gonna be no other way don't ya? Kinda like taking Heroin for an opium addiction......been at it since 1962 and to this day I still get the rush, heartbeat in the ears, and the "wonderment" when it's done.....aint nothing like it ;D what a rush

Is that a hide backed bow? Can you fill me in on the ice salt water technique?

Great story and hunt......congratulations!!!!!! :)
Postman:
Thanks, guys. The bow is unbacked osage darked with permanganate. Bleach does the same, I'm told. I think she was 120-130 lbs dressed, kinda big for our area. Have gotten a few with wheelies and guns on the ground at close range, but this is a whole different and better ballgame - Halfeye said it best ;D
El D's quote - he's in Texas, and usually in some kinda hot water too, so he knows of these things... ;) don't know why I said "salt"- no sleep, my bad. gonna modify it
