Title: ANOTHER Nice day in the woods pg.2 pics
Post by: NOMAD88 on December 09, 2013, 07:15:00 PM
I got my first squirrel kill and first kill by me with my Great Plains long bow. 65# @ 28 I draw 29.5 shooting full length carbonwood arrows with 225 up front. Judo tip for this one.

Nice shot. Do you hunt from the kayak or use it for transportation?

It was a blast. Got 7 shots off connected on 1. I would have had more shots if I had flu flu's and if I had more than 2 squirrel arrows. Yak is only transportation.

That's awesome man. I went full commando recently on the squirrels. So far they are ahead in the war. That's a good shot!

I hope to make it up there Izzy. I start a new job Jan. 2 so I will have to see if they will allow the time off    :dunno:

Duncan I thought about floating the river with some flu flu's for ducks. That is the only legal way to shoot from the yak. It is only still a thought though.

Looks like fun. We don't need the yaks here right now.    :(  

Walking on water is no big deal in Iowa this time of year.    :biglaugh:  

It is shotgun season here right now, so I'm staying inside away from the cold and flying slugs! I think the deer hunting has been tough even for the shotgun guys this season. I know neither of my sons managed to take one with a gun. The youngest son and I each managed to put one in the freezer with a bow...both does, but the bucks have been VERY hard to come by.

25 yard shot to this squirrel. Very surprised when I saw it hit.

Tons of acorns still laying on the ground. Not a whole lot of fresh hog sign but there was some around.
