You folks all saw the beautiful recurve that Burshwolf / Mike Tenley built for the bow trade this year.. well I don't have or own a bow that I won't hunt and Mikes bow is no exception and it preformed flawlessly today... about a hour after sunup this fella fell to Mikes bow. He gave me a quartering to me shot and I hugged the shoulder... we took out the lungs and the top of the heart... no tracking here... I want to thank everyone here on the bowyers bench for allowing me to be a part of the swap and to Mike for drawing my name and building such a special bow...
Thank you all
Kip

I'm hunting on a farm in Missouri. This is the first time I've hunted in the midwest. I bought this hunt to benefit Whitetails Unlimited. I am the only Traditional shooter here and so far this is the only buck taken. I still have a doe and turkey tag to fill and another four days to hunt so the game continues !!!
Kip, where in MO are ya?
Kenny I'm on a farm just out of Carrollton.... we really got a break with this cool weather. The deer are really starting to move. One of the guys saw a 160/170 pushing a doe last night so there are some really good deer here.
I'm only 60 miles N of Carrolton! Small world!
I saw a decent 8 pt running various does this morning.
Good Shoot'n!

While I was there the film crew from Bowhunting Addiction TV was there filming... I kind of felt the odd duck being the only stick bow hunter but they were a great bunch of guys. Some of the wheel guys got to shoot a Mikes recurve .... converts maybe :)
I told Don and Pops that if they lost the wheels for a couple of hunts they would have a ready made audience here on Tradgang (37,400 plus)....
