I usually decide that about 3 days before I go. Every time I think I found one, I build 3 more! I do have a leading contender that seems to be lingering since its conception.
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.

This is one I plan on hunting this fall, "Lil Thumper". She's 56" t/t, 56#@26" with Texas Diamondback water snake over 2 layers of cow sinew. I'll probably be shooting poplar arrows or maybe hill cane with stone or trade points.

Yeh, I reckon that ought do ok, Pat B.

4dog, careful hunting in copperhead country with that bow.  You might lay it down and pick up something a little more whip tillered by mistake!

I was hunting GA with a copperhead skin backed bow years ago and got run out of my treestand by a brown thrasher...two evenings in a row. Walking back to camp the second evening I realized it was the copperhead the brown thrasher was after, not me.  ;D

Probably this one. Won't know for sure until the time comes.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

  I'm rotating between two bows this season, maybe one will draw a kill...

  Any body recognize the 1st bow and who made it?

If you're going to master the piano, you don't play mary had a little lamb, you play Beethoven. I figure it's the same with bows, luckily we have a lot of masters around here to study :D
