How to learn to hunt with a selfbow?
Fox:
Okay that makes sence Hawkdancer... the scate wasnt perticularly fresh, but thre was more there than ive seen on the whole mountain.... all compase and topo maps for me!
George Tsoukalas:
I killed a selfbow while I was just sitting in front of a tree. If you can also have a tree front, and sides that's great. Be alert and sit still. Jawge
Woody roberts:
I like to sit with a couple big trees out front and to the sides. When the tree is between me and their eyeball I do my moving if I need to.

I never want to go where the deer are, I want to go where they will be coming to. Hence in the morning I will set up on a trail near the top of the ridge. In the evening I’m on a trail in the bottom. It is so brushy there that the deer tend to use trails pretty regular. Most people won’t hunt there because of the brush.
In a year with lots of acorns all bets are off. They feed and bed up on the hillsides. As you hunt an area more you learn spots that are consistent producers. It’s always more difficult when your hunting a new area.
Shoot straight, Woody

I love the jacks fork! Never hunted there but I have at the sunk lands
Woody roberts:
Early in life I was a logger. Worked and hunted quite a bit around the sunklands. I was raised in Winona in Shannon county. Here people think I’m a hillbilly, back home I’m just a normal person.
