Many years ago my sister lived in Hesston, Kansas for a couple of years. I think I was around 16 when I flew out to visit her. Already had a hunting background at that time. Their next door neighbor was an older gentleman who loved to deer hunt. I was very impressed with the size racks he showed me...he also said he typically hunted along creeks and rivers where there were woods and travel routes for deer. Here in Tenn., we also look for ways to get the deer in close, whether funnels or natural food sources.
Congratulations on a fine doe, taken with special equipment made that way by your own hands! Until this year I've hunted with my selfbows for the past 8-9 years...this year I'm using the first traditional bow I ever used, which I bought I think 27 years ago. That bow led me into eventually making my own bows and being involved with friends who also shared that passion. Guess I'm a little sentimental at times, that bow is like a dear old friend to me now.
