My latest kill...

(1/4) > >>

billy:
Hey everyone! 

I just got my latest kill, a fat red fox squirrel.  He started barking at me, so I shot at him but missed.  He actually jumped onto a small osage tree (which is kinda ironic because that's what my bow is made of) and got closer to me.  He was only about 13 feet away when I hit him in the pelvis with the second arrow.  He whirled around and tried to climb back up the tree, but the arrow got stuck in the branches so he couldn't move. The third shot went through his chest and killed him.  After the 3rd shot, he sat there for only 4 seconds, then fell outta the tree. 

I used a 51 pound Osage self bow, rivercane arrows with dogwood foreshafts, and stone points made from north GA chert.  The first shot that missed was tipped with a point made out of green bottle glass. 

One of the pics is me w/ the squirrel, the other is of the two points that I got him with.  Enjoy!
