Osage and Stone Point

(1/7) > >>

BarredOwl:
First kill with primitive equipment.   I built this bow in April 2015.  Hunted hard with it last year and just couldn't get any luck to go my way at all.  3rd time out this year and with less than 8 hours total hunting time killed this 8 point from the ground.  Bow is 55" and 60# @26".  Arrow is bamboo with knife river stone point all crafted by myself from cutting the tree down to knapping the point and straightening the bamboo.  I couldn't be happier with the way it all came together after all these years of wanting to do this.  Double lung shot with the off side skin stopping my stone point from exiting the far side of the deer. 

BarredOwl:
One that shows the bow a little better.

bjrogg:
That is such a great accomplishment, and also having enough confidence in your equipment to use only it and nothing else. Congratulations there aren't a lot of people in this world anymore that could do that if their life depended on it. Takes a lot of preparation, practice, and just plain good hunting to get that  checked off your bucket list.

bjrogg:
Oh I almost forgot. That's one dang nice buck there to boot. Congrats again BarredOwl. Well done
Bjrogg

BarredOwl:
Thanks BJ.  I see congratulations are in order for your first as well.  I'll never forget the sight of that deer turning to run and seeing the turkey fletched arrow stuck in him. The sun was hitting it just right and with the adrenaline pumping through my brain it was a very vivid image that will last a long time in my memory.
