Title: The rumor is true, there are bears in Missouri
Post by: Mudd on August 30, 2011, 06:34:00 PM
My young friend Jefferson13(Jeff Vinson) came over today to fling a few arrows with me and try out my new bow "Scratches".

We headed out back, me armed with "Scratches" while Jeff was packing "ROI" (my Osage Royale).

We started out on the regular targets and after we gotten ourselves warmed up we decided to do a little still hunting further away from the house which is when we encountered the 1st bear.

We ended up finding at least 4 of them and dispatched all four with some well placed shots.

I am proud of Jeff and the progress he has made shooting the longbow(Howard Hill style) as taught to me by Spanky, Nate Steen, and John Schulz VHS tape(Hitt'em like Howard")  Click on photo to see the video

Here's Jeff drawing down on the 1st bear we found.

Here is the last bear I stalked to within about 18 yard and downed with a well placed arrow.

I also made a video of me shooting "Scratches".

Thanks for looking.

God bless,Mudd

PS: Jeff is a remarkable young man and a great student of the bow and arrow.

OK Roy.......give the docs a call and tell them what you're doing.  They will change the meds and get you back to our planet.  Remember, deep breaths, relax and our sky is blue....   :thumbsup:

Mr. Roy,
What happened to the hat? It's not the one I expected to see you wearing.
 :D

Post by: Mudd on August 31, 2011, 01:50:00 PM
Robert, I have a hat fetish and there's never any way of figuring out what kind of hat I might be wearing at any given time.

Joekeith thought not long ago that I was doing a Jungle Jim impression. (for those of you who are old enough to remember the movies of Jungle Jim.)

God bless,Mudd
