wa blacktail double
« on: December 21, 2012, 11:40:27 pm »
Were eatin really good right now, fresh heart, liver, and tenderloins! This is me and my uncle with two beautifull blacktail does killed within 2 miles from each other. My doe was taken with toelke whip 52# sitka spruce arrow in the spine and a salmonberry arrow that sealed the deal, my uncles was with a martin jaguar 50# carbon arrows. Both taken within 20 yards, spot n stalk, within sight of saltwater, yup life is good!

Congrats on the deer. :) Never heard of anyone else use salmon berry for arrows. I thought people just never thought of it, they are very similar to wild rose. I like them! Osoberry shoots also make stout arrows.

no doubt salmonberry and osoberry make a real good arrow.  when made right and they are very tough. that arrow in the picture went through the scapula and the offside shoulder only snapping when she rolled on it. i use insert broadheads screwed into the pith, and a nail shoved in the pith for blunts, i probably make and lose over a hundered salmonberry arrows a year.

Nice work!  You two make it look easy.  I have cut some salmonberry for shafts, but it came in so light in mass...I set them a side and thought they would come in handy if i ever needed a primitive flight arrow.
