Title: #6 falls to an unfinished osage recurve
Post by: Ranger B on November 06, 2008, 05:39:11 pm: I spoke at the local Rotary club today then had a few hours before having to be at a luncheon so I headed to the woods. At 1020 this guy walked by and I capitalized. I got my new osage recurve shooting but it's far from finished. It doesn't even have a handle grip or the tips finished, but it shoots straight. He was a small buck but after the shot he ran into a tree and broke both little horns off. That's the second deer I've heard of doing that this year. A friend at work had a 6 ptr do the same thing. This bow shoots great and I've got to get it done before I deploy.

The son said his accomodations in Tikrit aren't as nice as Afganistan but he only works 3 hours a day. :'(

I've given a lot of meat away to some folks that wanted some and others who truly needed it.

Post by: TRACY on November 07, 2008, 09:31:40 am: Nice job! It's not that uncommon for the young bucks to shed their antlers this early, many factors like population density, nutrition, and most importantly daylength/testosterone levels. I did a job in Minnesota one year around Halloween and removed several young bucks that had already shed or actually shed when I touched their antlers. I've had it happen in other areas of the country also.
