Title: Another Notch on My Tall Tines
Post by: Gary Logsdon on November 19, 2011, 05:13:00 PM
Just put another notch on my new Tall Tines recurve . . . the one with a piece of antler inlaid into the riser for good luck. It came from my Dad's last archery buck. Tally so far since receiving the bow last March: 2 spring longbeards and 3 whitetail does. Hanging on to my last tag just in case I get lucky on a buck.

Great picture...Those tall tines are a work of art.  Nothing tastes better than a white-tail doe....enjoy your harvest!

Post by: Gary Logsdon on November 19, 2011, 08:22:00 PM
Thanks everyone.  I had an encounter with a nice buck a few days ago while I was following his fresh tracks, so fresh that I fully expected to see him ahead on me. Two shots rang out on the neighboring property (It's the KY gun season right now)which apparently turned him around and sent him backtracking! I saw him before he saw me but we were on a collision course with nowhere for me to hide. He didn't like the parts of me he he saw, turned 90 degrees and busted out of there.  I was back in one of my cedar tree stands this morning when I took the deer in the photo.

Raining here again. Passed on two bucks yesterday that were on the small side.  Both were "with doe". I witnessed first hand that they are now breeding in KY :^)

Gotta like those checkered grips, whether custom made by the bowyer or, as in this case, created through 40 years in the "school of hard knocks":^)

Brian was originally going to put checkering on my bow too, but the addition of Dad's antler inlay finished off the look that I wanted.
Title: Re: Another Notch on My Tall Tines
Post by: Hatrick on November 23, 2011, 12:28:00 PM
Classic picture, very well done.

Nice "traditional" touch with the antler inlay from your Dad's last deer. I still carry my hunting license in my Grandfathers old hunting wallet where he kept his. That way, I may hunt by myself, but never alone.
Title: Re: Another Notch on My Tall Tines

Exactly Dave . . . nice sentiment.

Nice pic! When I look at that pic I can't help but think their isn't another place you would rather be or another thing you would rather be doing than what your doing.
As Dannybow said the picture speaks volumes.

Tall Tines update. I've been keeping a watchful eye out for that 4X5 buck that's been showing up on my game cam.  No true big-un, but the largest buck currently haunting the property I hunt. Well, he finally came through this morning within 14 yards of my stand and hung around long enough for me to size him up. Unfortunately he has a really weak left side so I let him walk. That's the disappointing news. The highlight of the morning was spotting a huge doe sporting WHITE EARS. Yep, normal coloration in every regard except for two ears that look like they've been airbrushed white. Another doe came by that looked like she was wearing makeup. Prettiest doe I think I've ever seen. Perfect "bib" throat patch and sporting beautiful white and brownish gray facial markings. Looked like she was wearing makeup, HA!

That second doe must have been one of those does "with a pretty face" that Barry Wensel mentions once and a while.
Title: Re: Another Notch on My Tall Tines
Post by: Gary Logsdon on December 15, 2011, 09:57:00 AM
Nearly had another notch this week . . . the "second rut" was ON here (KY) on Dec 12th.  Saw three bucks chasing.

Another notch added last week to my lucky bow, this "cold turkey" taken with my Tall Tines and a 300 grain VPA 2 blade head. Since receiving the bow from Brian last March it has produced 3 Eastern longbeards and 3 whitetail does. One week to go in the KY deer season!!
