i picked up a new property last week. scouted it this morning. didnt have the slips signed yet so i left the bow in the truck and just scouted it. stalked over a rise and saw a nice 6 pointer. decided to stalk closer to see what i could see. got within 20yards of the bugger and he started walking to me. took my knife off my hip incase he got to close. he was so close i thought about sticking him if he came closer cause i figured he would of kicked the crap out of me if he realised i was there. ;D
cowboy:
Your paintin a purty picture there Jamie :). I've gotten real close like that and it seems like your never armed when the gods smile down on you - or maybe that's exactly what their doin ;D.
I went out again today and didn't see nothin - the ruts about to kick in................

I hunted Saturday morning and passed up about a 10 yard shot at a spike. Went over to the club after hunting Saturday morning with a hornbeam stave in hand. Laid the bow out and roughed it in with bandsaw. Saturday evening back home hunting behind my house was uneventful...no sightings. Laid in Sunday morning, then went back to the club. Got the hornbeam bow thinned down and Pappy and I put it on a form to reflex and remove some minor propellor. Pappy was tillering on another osage bow, he was past brace with it. I laid out another bow from the remnants of the hornbeam stave I had which was a good size one. Used Pappy's dimensions he wanted, and then roughed it in and gave it to him. He's never made a hornbeam, always gave the staves away before he had a chance. I told him I wanted him to finish this one. It should make a good bow...the tree was cut in May of 2005. :)

Seen a nice 8 pointer tonight but he winded me about 30 yards out.....then later I saw 2 spikes and several does all running around like mad, no shot opportunity but it was fun! ;D
