Danzn Bar:
My first primitive bow and arrow kill came the second day (Oct 18th) of early muzzleloading season in Kentucky. Had my 86 yr old father-in-law out with me and I got lucky that weekend.  Found a real good spot Saturday with some fresh sign and two trails about 30 yards apart.  I set up real early Sunday morning between the two trails on the ground with my back up against a big tree.  About 2 hours after sun up a doe came up the trail behind me on my right.  Being right handed I had no chance for a shot and I was up wind from her.  After she pasted I was thinking it would have been perfect if she would have walked up the left hand trail.  And about 20 minutes later I here something behind me on my left.  I notice a big tree with a nice opening in front of it on the trail in front of her.  She moved down the trail behind the tree, I moved as she pasted the tree and the opening, everything happened at the same time, me drawing the bow and the deer appearing in the opening.  I let the arrow fly.  My primitive alumina-nocks (feather tracers) showed me I had hit her low and right behind the front leg elbow.  I think it was a good shot, but I almost missed her.  I watched her and the feather tracers bounce up the hill about 30yds and out of sight.  Then I heard her stop running about maybe 50 yds away....then I here a thump and some leaves russelling, then silence.  I waited the longest 45 minutes of my life and then went over to where I shot the deer and found a little blood trail, I followed the trail until I though I had heard her stop.  That is where I found my arrow laying on the ground all bloody.  and 20 yds further up the trail was my deer. I have killed a lot of deer in past, but this was like my first!!!  I was so excited......my heart was pounding out of my chest....

Osage selfbow with cane arrow and a stone point.........I want to thank TRACY for the stone point, it did the job......here are just a few pics.
