My first stone kill.....
« on: October 01, 2011, 03:13:26 pm »
Opening day, fence row, standing corn.  4 minutes before sunrise had 2 does around me. 

 This one presented a great broadside shot at 8 yards from a short tree stand.  50# osage selfbow, rivercane arrow with stone point  (thanks Cipriano!!) 

  Waited 30 minutes and looked a little for the deer.  Had lots of blood but trailed farther than I expected so backed out and went back later with my son and wife when they were done hunting.  Found her just 30 yards further than I had trailed her!! 

  Stone point broke a rib going in and was stopped from coming out by another rib.  Tip of point was broke.

  What a rush!!!! :)

lowell, 

When I saw the topic on this post I was curious if the deer had been taken with a Texas stone point. 

What a rush is right amigo! Congratulations!!! That's a great story and an awesome job knapping, hunting and shooting. I enjoyed reading about your hunt and the pictures say it all:)  That is one big doe. 

De nada amigo.  It's this site that made that possible and many many folks have made hunts like yours possible as well. I look forward to more sucess stories. Post pics of the points if you get a chance. I have been the recipient of gracious generousity by folks on this site and am happy to pay it forward:)

Nice job Lowell!
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

 That's a nice, fat one, Lowell. That shot will feel good for a while. I'm with Cip' let's see the point.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Here's a closeup of the point mullet. ;)  Cipriano knows the tips well as I got them from him in a trade.

  Just hafted another on the same shaft this afternoon....so maybe I'm ready to go again!!!  The shaft seemed to fly good so I'm sticking with it!! 8)

  Thanks all for your kind comments!!
