Thanks Barrage,Wolf Watcher wasn't kidding .. she is just as good with a bow as she is with that camera, I try to discourage her from hunting because she shoots way better than me :'(.. she took a four by five mule deer the first year she ever hunted :o... I killed thirty deer with a  longbow before I ever got a four by five anything...Pat, I think Josiah would be doing backflips if he had one of your arrows in his quiver...he is sure addicted to shooting his bows, he is one of the few kids his age who would rather shoot and ride horses than play video games..Hawk

Hawkbow, you need to start hunting something else that's open season in Wyoming--praire dogs, stalings, anything we need our weekly photo fix.

Hawk,

I think small game hunting is the best, hands down.  Lots of action, plenty of shot opportunities, and loads of fun, too.  Fantastic photos by Stacey, as always.  She must have a really good zoom lens to be getting shots of wildlife that close, especially the one of the miss.  Unless she is such a master stalker that she can get within 6 feet of those little rabbits and get photos of them.  If that's the case, I think she better put down the camera and pick up a bow!

She has a really big zoom lens Billy, but she is also extremely patient in waiting for the shot... I have seen her wait for hours, day after day for a picture of a certain deer or elk .. etc... and she won't quit until the picture is taken. When we are out hunting sometimes the fun gets put on hold while she sets us up for the shot.. Nothing tries my patience more than standing twenty feet from a bunny waiting for her to stalk around and set up for the shot. But it is cool when she gets the picture to share with fellow brothers of the bow. Hawk

Hawk-

Love to see these pics!  As usual your wife did a GREAT job capturing the action!

My little boy starts school this fall....and momma has finally gave me clearance to take him along!  Boy is he ever excited!

I am making him up a little osage bow from a piece of wood that Saw Filer sent to me some time back......June we have a 2 week squirrel season....so needless to say I and my new hunting buddy will be scaring the acorns off'n the skrills with our near misses!

Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder's eye on the Last Day.

usually the shots are at fifteen to twenty yards, but some are as close as six feet if you sneak really good... the thing with hunting bunnies on the high plains is you may have to walk miles and miles to find them.. thay are in only in certain areas.. and they are mostly running shots.. happy hunting Hawk..
