Well, guess I'm hooked

chasing crow:
Been out several times with my newly finished oak selfbow. Have only seen a couple deer (none in shooting range) in over a month. I have let fly at several squirrels with no hits. I finally took the flint smoothbore off the wall and headed to the woods. Came home with 3 squirrels and ate well!
I hung that trusty gun on the wall and told my wife that It just doesn't feel right to be out there without stick and string!! I may not be able to put meat on the table yet, but I am committed to practice more and stick with it. I just love heading into the woods with my self made primitive equipment.........I HAVE THE SICKNESS!   

HickoryBill:
Wait till you make your first primitive bow kill.....Then you will really get hooked/sick.....Good luck and shoot straight.

I hunted all last year without taking a deer it was the time of my life and loved every minute of it.  I finally killed my first deer this year and I am working on deer number 2.  After the first deer you calm down a lot and really have fun because you dont have a monkey on your back. Good luck and don't 2 guess your aim or you will miss a lot.

Welcome to the madness  ;)

  It is a sicknest I've hunted 51 times seen 31 bucks,13 shooters. Missed a mid 120's 8 point,miss 2 yote that were together and hit one last. He was trotting perty hard and I hit him in the hind quarters. Must have it the bone he started spinning broke my arrow off. Major blood trail but he went into a sanurey I have set up that I NEVER enter. Unless I'm tracking a buck.
  One sure way of keeping mature bucks in your area is have a place where they can go and be totally safe. And leave it alone.
  SICKNEST WITH NO CURE
