Brother was up from Houston to do some huntin. We didn't get out for the morning hunt so decided to rough out some bows this AM. We got him four bows roughed out to take home and work on later (I think he's got the disease now). He's hauling two osage's, a hickory, and an ash (a fine ash by the way) home with him. Then we went out and kilt that deer - what a day ;D..............

Sounds like a day well-spent.

Yup a good day cowboy. Today didn't start so well woke up to about 10" of wet heavy snow >:(
All my stuff is still in the woods about 4 miles back on 2 tracks ;D and I just got down snowblowin for 2 hours >:( >:(
Oh well at least I woke up this morning ;D Life is Good

Thats about as good as it gets! Steve

Looks like a great day to me...and you got to shoot a deer. I'm envious. ;) Pat
-
That sounds great to me. Greg is going to want to know where the food is though. ;) I wish I could get my brothers to build bows and hunt with me. Justin

You couldn't have a better day than that,Paul.

What a great day! You sure know how to throw a party ;D

Time spent with your brother is what it is all about. Jawge

Sounds like a great day indeed. I love morning hunts, but hate waking up for them. I've never been and never will be a morning person. You had it great on all accounts. Got to wake up at a human hour, made bows, enjoyed time with your brother, and got to kill a deer.
Can you tell us about your shop? I assume you've got a roof over it. Any tarps on come down on the sides to keep the weather from blowing in on your tools? Frugal bowyers want to know, LOL! ;D
-
You nailed it right on the head guys!! One hell of a day ;D. I Don't envy your snow blowin Dana - have been on jobs up there this time of year and it just wasn't home :).
Pat: I really don't consider that a primitive kill since it was (purty much) already down - but what a test for the stone points, that really made an impression on me. Need to harvest one 100 percent primitive - that'll be the ultimate.
Hey Justin, man that's hard to beat havin your brother take up a mutual interest like that. We grew up always in the thick of it - till adulthood and work. Now seems like we see each other every two or three years - I'll call it payback for all the fine fishin he's provided me ;D.
You can't deny we're brother Bob - only thing is he's three years my senior but I've got more grey in the ole beard, need to learn how to quit stressing so much. You played a part in that deer's death by the way - recognize those shaft's ;)?
Hey Adam - that's not a special bowyer's shop or anything. I started putting it together bout ten years ago, and like most hillbilly's around here it's still half - way there. Most of the roof is there, but their's not walls and yeah all the power tools catch some moisture when it rains - a work in progress, I have too many bow's and arra's to build to worry about finishing it ;D.

......Yuip Paul recognized em'. ;D Glad ya like em' and they work fer ya ................. ;D..............bob
