huntertrapper:
i am really excited. we have flocks of starlings or blackbirds that zip around here. i have been tryin to shoot them with my longbow and flinttipped arrow. never got a shot yet till today. one sat on the telephone wire 30 feet up. i stalked close to him and got ready he was a good 30 feet up and i was 20 yards away from the wire., i aimed and that arrow zipped past him and i swear to god missed by a inch or two. i am so excited it was my first truly primitive hunt. a good shot at that a starling the size of 2 fist froma good distance away. i am gonna try again the rest of this week for one.  i am shooped up now.  w'owiyuskin (joy) ;D ;D ;D

hawkbow:
sometimes the true joy of the hunt is in the trying...hope you get a kill soon .. Hawk..a/ho

huntertrapper:
im tellin ya when i saw that arrow miss that starling by only a few inches i was awe struck it was a dang good shot, i dont mean to sound like a braggart but it was my first primitive loosed arrow at my quarry. im probably gonna be huntin crows up north this weekend so maybe ill get a crow. that would be awesome.

Keenan:
 Be carefull there Hunter, you might have a heck of a time explaining the flint point stickingin the power line wasn't an act of terrorism. ;D   If your gonna be shootin at them lines use blunts !!!;D Keenan

Otoe Bow:
Set up a hide spot over fresh road kill.  That draws in the crows like mad.   ;D

They are extremely wary birds and once your cover is blown, they let the world know.  Worthwhile quarry.
