enough info to keep ya busy a while.   ;D  hope you find it of use- Ryan

Atlatlista:
Wow!  Thank you for taking the time to type this up for me.  This is an absolutely fascinating record, and exactly what I was looking for.  I'm really impressed not only with your recording skills, but your hunting skills as well.  I'm curious though about the 800 yard recovery animal.  What happened that made the recovery so long?  How long did it take you to find it?  How in the world did you track it for nearly a kilometer?

crooketarrow:
   I can't remmber all of that so I'll generalize it some.
 
  All whitetail bucks 2, black bears, Number of doe's I never kept track of. But over 15.
 
39 Bucks with a selfbow.

  Taken with bows anywhere from 52#'s to 75#'s. All kinds of wood used. But OSAGE and HICKORY for the most part.
 
  ZICKEYS, KNAPPER (STONE)HEADS, HOMEMADE TRADE POINT'S.

  Anywhere from 120 #'s to 214 #'s. Bears went 167#s and 190#'s.

  Longest shot with a selfbow has been 18 yards. Closest was 4 yards. But most was 10 to 15 yards.

  Recover was anywhere from on the spot (4 spine shots) to 5oo, 600 yards. Mosty with in 100 yards. A 13 or 14 with in sight.

  Shot distance's and recovering distance's  were messured my me. GUESSING

  Tree stands (95 % of the time)  from 1974 to 2006 when I had 2 strokes made me a total ground hunter. I love it never go back in the tree's.
 
 Probely 80% CALLED.

  7 Losses.

well I've been bow hunting for five years now and so far have only shot a cow elk it was a 55 yard shot (I practice daily out to 80 yards) ranged with a rangefinder after the shot she walk-trotted about 25 yards stopped, looked over her shoulder and fell right there, she left a blood trail a blind man could follow, I used a 64# tri-lam r/d longbow 580 gn. cane arrows with 155 gn tusker single bevel broadheads, aprox. 600# live weight, shot out of a treestand,   Duck
