For my 50th year I wanted to hunt with a 50 year old bow. Well really I wanted to kill something with a 50 year old bow. So a couple years ago I bought a 1963 dogleg Kodiak. It shoots really nice. I turned 50 in April so this fall was time to break out the Kodiak. In September I missed an easy shot at a mule deer buck with it in Colorado. Well I stuck with it and took it to Nebraska last week on a whitetail hunt. Finally got a shot Friday evening and made it count. She died 10 yds from my stand. 50# bow, cedar shaft, woodsman head.

Been debating on picking up a '63 Kodiak myself - that's my birth year. Just like the look of the dogleg, although it didn't last long on the market.
Maybe I'll go poke around the classifieds or that big auction site...

That is awesome man, congrats!
Very sweet! I was debating taking out a '63 Kodiak or Grizzly this past weekend and went with my '61 Kodiak Special instead. I shot a nice 1.5 year old doe with it on Saturday. The marked weight on the bow is 30lbs and with my draw it's about 35lbs. I'm still fighting a little post rotator cuff surgery stiffness, so I went light.
Congrats! :clapper: :clapper:
Congrats Mark. Nice shot and very cool story.
Nice Job!
Nice job. I am hunting with a 48 year old Grizzly this year, so hopefully I'll have a pic or two to post in a few days. Things are really heating up here and the next 2 weeks should be fun!
Congrats!! You and the old bow gotter done.
Way to go Mark!
Congrats on accomplishing your goal. Nice whitetail.
