Yea Chad, my wife said it was cold and rainy back there today.  I'm looking foreward to something that resembles Fall.  I hope I can make it to the woods some this weekend.

 man, thats awesome- the deer looks like in ran through a trench, but i'm sure it was a blast getting him out  ;D canoe hunting too, thats aweosme- i've always wanted to try that. what kinda bow is that? I got a board, yes a board, of osage today, long story short, they had alot, and were suspicious on why I was buying it. I didnt want to tell them how godly a straight grained piece of osage is, so i got a 6.5 foot by 4 inch board. I'd love to hunt with it too, im noyt sue what kind of longbow it makes though, the one;s ive seen have been purdy short. congrats on that deer man, sounds like a blast. -jimmy

Yeah Mike..it was cool this morning! I found 5 fresh scrapes! Should start getting good...

Here are some photos of the arrow/point. I was shooting down and at an angle, so it hit a pretty thick part of the back rib. I found a piece broke off inside, but I am not sure what happened to the rest. It may have broken as he crashed through the saplings... I cleaned it up so you could get a better look. It took a beating, but it did it's job...





PS-- It was an osage flatbow at 58#....

That's interesting - thanks for showing the point Chad. I have several that look just like that but are missing the blood, thiers a lot of rocks where I hunt :'(.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Chad, cool hunt, awsome story and I would love to have a canoe and do that type of a hunt. Don,t know what I would do with the canoe here in this desert but really do have a hankering for one.  Congrats on your primitive hArvest.      Kenneth
