Good luck Ovis. If you get anything this weekend let me know. I want to rub your head for luck. :D :D I'll be going after elk and deer again after the 10th.
Oh yea......Juniper is very good wood. I have considered it but haven't decided as of yet. That would be cool to cut the tree for the wood to build a bow with. I have the Bowyer's Bible and Glenn St. Charles' book is in the mail. Thanks.....when I finish the bow I will post some pics. Can't...
ELKCHSR....That is not me in the pic. That would be a friend of mine. He made the bow and killed the moose. The bow he made was a laminated wood bow. But I am thinking of trying a selfbow. I have thought of using yew. This would be my first bow when I get started. I'll have to see how...
I have a hard and fast rule that I live by. Never shot anything when it is somewhere you don't want to pack it out of.
I have passed up a lot of game because of that but I don't regret it.
Carnivore:
Flytier has a family emergency. He will not be able to make it on Sunday. Unfortunately I have a prior commitment and won't me able to make it either.
Hopefully it will be my turn next year. During the winter me and my hunting partner will start building bows. We are going try our hand at selfbows. Then we are putting in for moose. Maybe we can have the same results.
If you hunted above Long Tom Creek you are a better man than me. I don't goats or sheep live on hills that steep. :D :D :D
Where you be in town. We need to hook up and exchange stories. We'll get Ovis too :cool: :cool:

Nut, the wood Ivan used was bubinga for the riser, in the limbs his used zebra wood with a bamboo core. He was able to call the bull in. His hunting partner called by using his mouth and no special calls. They were able to call in 4 bulls. This one was the one that came in the closest and...
Here are the pictures of my friend's moose. He was hunting in the Island Park area of eastern Idaho. He shot the moose with a longbow he made himself. The moose was taken at 10 yards. The spread was 42" which may not be huge but not bad for Idaho.

A friend of mine drew on a moose this year, which is a once in a life time deal if you kill one in Idaho. He also built a bow for the hunt. Just got a call an hour ago telling me that he got his moose.
He shot it with a 69# homemade longbow using a wood arrow weighing in close to 700...
Fifteen minutes into the flight from Kansas City to Toronto, the captain announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed. There is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but we still have three engines left."
Thirty minutes later the captain...
I could have told you why Rattlesnake Creek was called that. Next time you really need to check in with me I can tell where all the evil places are cause I don't go there.
Remember what I have told you in the past. Anything that crawls on its belly for a living is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!
At least you...
