I am planning on it this year! I've taken mule deer doe with A hickory backed hickory, all wood but not a selfbow.

I think "the 8th dwarf" used to post some pics with elk he shot with his seflbows.

I'm up for a new challenge and honestly can't say my bow will hold up I've had bad luck lol. But figure I'll have my bear TD as a good back up! Thinking CO this year and WY next year. Plus both states have great trout fishing which is a close second passion.

Know many selfbow shooters who have killed both elk and moose!

But if I remember, it was a sharp, well placed, arrow, that did the work!  

Osage self bow 55# @28" Snakeskin backed, Bison horn tip overlays and a Wolf tooth arrow rest.

Nice, Bert!

You guys have my utmost respect.

Taking out game (especially Elk and other big and dangerous game) with wooden sticks made from staves taken from trees the way it has been done for tens of thousands of years is really the apex of hunting in my opinion.

Great thread!!

Tippet, that shaft looks out of place.    :rolleyes:

Jeff,
2X on What Pat B said.....It just don't go with a stone head.  
That said, our mutual friend Doug uses them with his selfbows.

A wolf tooth arrow rest is hard to beat.    :D

I'd like to see that wuff tooth arrow rest too.

I'm pretty sure I have a picture with a close up of the Wolf tooth arrow rest , I'll see if I can find it .
Post as soon as I can.

Here you go Chad & Kevin      


The Wolf that provided the tooth was trapped on the Ranch I shot the Elk at.
Pic's were taken during the building process.
