Tune in to the Outdoor Channel on Tuesday at 8 pm for a DIY alpine mule deer stick bow hunt on Eastman's TV. The hunt will be shown on the second half of the show.
Now I have notice that Mike Eastman has had a curve in his hand when with a bow.
cool I cant wait to see that one..
Good to see you here South. Have you started hunting with a trad bow bud?
THANKS BIVY,BE COOL IF IT WAS IN THE CAP.
I'll have to check it out. Eastman's is one of the only shows on TV I'll actually watch. No fences!
I will defintely check it out.
I got the DVR set! Thanks for the heads up!
God bless,Mudd
thanks, I all setup to record!!!
South, that was awesome. I'll have to re-watch tonight but it looked like the one you missed was a giant.
Don't be a stranger to this site and keep shootin the recurve. That was no slouch of a mulie you took with your homemade recurve.
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say there are a lot of DIY western hunters here and your expertise is always welcome. I for one have always enjoyed your writings and blogs about Western big game.
Well done. :notworthy:
Mike
Thanks for the heads-up.
thanks for the heads up...I just saw something on Outdoor Channel...can't recall the episode though....it was about an outfitter along the Milk River in Montana...THe host hunted with a compound but the outfitter seemed to be using a Robertson Longbow...took a nice buck with it too. I believe another of the outfitter's family was using a Kodiak Hunter.
THANKS FOR THE REMINDER !!!
Nice, thanks.
Learned a lot from you over the years. Looking forward to watching you get it done with the stick bow.
I believe that it is on at 11 PM for us on the east coast,I plan on watching.
pointer,
the show you seen was "remingtons the buck stops here" host is mike hanback.... that was a good show..
Thanks for the heads up now I need to juggle between NCIS and this show.
There was a show on there a couple of days ago that had a guy that made his own stick bows. He gave one to the host and he shot a hog with it, anyone see this one?
Man ,you're one sneaky son of a gun... ;)
Good job.. :thumbsup:
I just watched it and it looked like he was using a blacktail made a good shot they praised him for using a recurve. Widow
Watched it last night. The recurve part was just the last few minutes tacked onto the usual spot & stalk compound bit, like an afterthought. Like I wanted to watch 25 minutes of guys with compounds glassing, bucks filmed from so far away you could hardly tell what they were, and not even a stalk...
The recurve guys missed a bruiser mule buck at 20 yards (shot low, still don't see how he did that!), then got in to 15 yards of a bunch of three and whacked about a 150 or so 4 point.
Only showed the exit (in front of the shoulder) and said something about not being sure about his hit but it worked out alright...
They said he built the TD recurve he was using, then there was a quick blurb about "Stalker custom bows" or something to that effect at the end. Never heard of them, but maybe he's a new bowyer just getting up & running?
The VERY brief bit of footage with the recurve was the only part of the show worth watching. This is usually a decent show, but I was disappointed. As NDT said, watching guys glass distant bucks with no apparent purpose for 25 minutes is not much of a show. The less than five minutes of actual bow hunting was good, but it still ticks me off when they are so darned amazed that you can actually kill a deer with a stick bow. The comment about the miss being a slam dunk with a compound was really condescending. I have seen plenty of footage of compound shooters missing or making crappy hits with compounds, even at "slam dunk" range.
Sorry for the rant. Nice job South! They should have showed five minutes of them glassing and 25 minutes of your stalks. That, I would have loved to see! You are one sneaky son-of-a-gun!
South is making bows now, he bought Stalker recurves from Charlie Bisharat, Charlie made the bows for 13 years, very popular out here on the left coast. South is doing some very nice work. I saw the bow he is using in the show at a shoot and it is beutiful. I believe he has got a web site now.
I was just glad to see ANY type of trad hunting. I liked the footage and hopefully it will lead to more footage of trad hunting on Eastmans as I know South has been on that show a few times now.
its a two part show and like elksong said any trad involvement is pretty cool
I enjoyed it. I thought the recurve footage was great. I would love to see more stickbow hunting on tv.

i saw it, its a very cool show.
Just checked out your website South. Those are some beautiful bows you are making!
Good luck and welcome to tradgang.
Nice looking bows south!
The show was good but like most said it would have been nice to see more of South's hunt I guess some is better then none.
