Early season primitive squirrel...

Here's my latest kill, an early season grey squirrel that I got this morning with my primitive 40 lb osage self bow and rivercane arrow tipped with a tiny obsidian point.  I missed my first shot from 12 yards, so I snuck to within 15 feet as he was chewing a walnut.  He was more interested in the walnut than he was me....unfortunately.  He finally turned and gave me a broadside shot, so I put a tiny obsidian point right thru both lungs.  The way he was sitting I had almost no margin for error... if I was off by just a half an inch I would have either missed him or hit the tree.  But I had been practicing so I felt confident I could hit him where I needed to.  And I did.  He fell off the tree at the moment of impact and was dead within seconds. The arrow buried up to the feathers.
 
And I got the entire thing on video as well, so this will be on Volume 2 of my next primitive bowhunting DVD. It's amazing how deadly even those tiny stone points are if you place them right.

It was exciting!!  Enjoy.....

Cameroo:

bowtarist:
Nice shot Billy!! My 8yr old boy was asking on Sunday when I was going to start bringing home the squirrels.  After seeing this, I may just try tonight.  ;D dpgratz

Looks like some good eats. Nice shot! That is one long looking arrow. Like the point.
