Postman, that is a big ol gal! Way to go.
Yeah, they never seem to make it easy to recover them. I guess , I would do the same, if someone stuck an arrow in me.
Well, at least the kids were talking smack, and not doing smack!
You definitely got a nice one, and are you going to hang up the self bow, and homemade arrows, and say been there done that , and go back to the training wheel bow?
I doubt it!
You will probably be telling the kids at school, that you have advanced, by going backwards, in bow hunting, by going back to the style of your ancestors, and getting the rush that only the primitive style Boyer knows. I doubt that they will be able to understand it, but once they try it, I think they will put the wheels up on the rack.
Have you shown them your bow? You might be able to get some of them to try making one, and then hunting with it......and hook another soul into the realm of primitive archery......
Then homemade arrows, then flint knapping.......poor kids won't be able to roam the streets at night, without looking for bow wood, and arrow material, and stopping to check out some rock, in the ground, instead in a bag.
Of course you might not have the weekends to yourself any more either, what with teaching bow making, and arrow making, and planning primitive hunting excursions.....
Nice hunt, and story. And definitely a nice deer. Glad you were successful.
