Title: MULE DEER..
Post by: hawkbow on August 20, 2008, 01:12:53 pm
My wife confiscated one of my bows and has been shooting about a hundred arrows a night. She after seventeen years  announced she wants to bowhunt, while scouting recently she captured this photo and refuses to tel me where this old warrior is. I would demand some info but she is getting pretty good with my /her bow. Hawk...

Boy, Wouldn't that frost you if she scored on that bad boy. He's a nice un!   Keep us posted, or ask her to, about her adventures. If she shoots a bow like she shoots a camera, that muley is in trouble! ;)  Pat

As the old grizzled veteran hunter put on the outward display of rage and contempt. For the loss of his prized huntting weapon . The deep inward ,primal spirit that was bound in him was dancing to a beat of a resending drum. Along with the ever louder cry of go! go! go! go!  oh well sorry Hawk couldn't resit

Mike: that is one seriously nice buck, bet he's mean during the rut. Anyway, hopefully you or your significant other can harvest him come fall. Just track her out to where she was taking pictures >:D ;D.

Cowboy, I tried tracking her once, that is how we met ;)  I am sure proud of her for deciding to hunt deer this year.. and with a longbow :o she has gotten pretty good with the bow and is ready for season to begin.. the problem is she is already a great hunter with her camea.. so i fear she may make a closer kill than me and I will never live it down  ;D ;D ;) Hawk A/ho

Many moons ago, when NC had a cold winter every now and then, a friend from work had taken off to the mountains for a few days hunting, leaving his wife at home with the kids.  Every year, she bugged and pestered him to take her hunting and he said no because that was HIS time.  This year was no different.  She wanted to kill a deer, he said no.  Two days into his hunt, I got a call from her.  She needed help bad.  I was kind of skeptical about going over until she explained.  It was just before dark and she came in from work with the kids and groceries.  There was a deer in the back yard.  She got the kids and groceries out and went in the house.  She went back out to see if it was still there, and it was.  She went back in the house and got the first gun she founds which was a 30.06, went back out and dropped it in its' tracks.  I went over, field dressed it and hung it as high as I could in a big maple tree.  Here husband came in the next day bragging about the big six pointer he shot, and she told him to go look in the tree.  There hung one of the prettiest 11 pointers I have seen to date.  He didn't believe she shot it until he saw the bruise on her shoulder.  Fellers, if she wants to go, take her with you, or you may never live it down.  I have a habit of reminding him about everytime I am over there.

That's a good photo of a very nice buck! Hope your wife gets an opportunity for a shot at it...she did locate it by the way.  ;D You wouldn't want to end up in the dog house by shooting her buck!  ;)

 ;D ;D You would have to know Hawk's beautiful wife to know that he is in for a great hunting season!  She works side by side with him and can peel a log, build a cabin, and supervise him and his boys and is very fit!  She beads and loves the mountains and all its critters.  She is an awesome photographer.  Some guys just have all the luck!!  O:) O:)  Watcher

Brothers, it is true about women and special hunting/fishing abilities. My sister and wife can catch fish all day when I can't. My wife caught 3 channel catfish on a small .98 cent at Wal Mart bass jig within a half hour of each other before when I was fishing with chopped up blue gill and didn't catch a thing. My other sister can see a squirrel in a woods from 100 yards away, way before I ever do and she'll tell me where it is like I should have already seen it and have binochular eyes like she does.  >:(    It is precious though. Dang females  :D

Hawk, that really is something to be proud of. My wife is real good about supporting me in primitive archery/outdoors, and even does it with me. But the diference is my wife will do it, but I have to make it for her. That's awesome that your wife even MAKES her own stuff man. Good going ol boy. Got you a rare find there!
