Snakebite!
« on: October 06, 2009, 03:41:37 pm »
Made my frist primitive kill with "Voodoo Child" last weekend. I had to shoot sitting down and the deer was five paces from my tree, very steep. The result was a spine shot. The nicely placed arrow in the pic was the coup de grace. Almost all materials used were gifted, traded, or clipped from dead turkeys.  ;D

Thank you Twin Oaks and PA friends for all your help learning to build bows. This is an incredibly rewarding experience!! Gald I can share it with you for all you have shared with me.

Congratulations-that's a fine lookin' deer, should be a lot of good eatin' and a lot of good memories. I think that calls for another "slight return":
