Congratulations David, That is awesome!
Thanks guys. Gordon did most of the work on the bow. I just coached a little.

Today.........
We have company coming this week to hunt for 4 days here. My Buddy and his wife, and she hunts too. So to earn more brownie points with Momma:)
I cleaned, organized, and hosed down the basement floor. And I threw out things down there that I have been moving around for a couple years now:) Garbage Man hain't gonna like the pile I put out for him:) Might work on the Yew Stave tonight, or might not. Had a few beers today while cleaning, so maybe I better not:)

It's alright Roy they were probably coors so alchohol won't be a problem.

LOL Dave, I've lost more than 1 bow from beer:) Don't plan on losing the Yew though...

This is a change, I sat in a hospital room at Vanderbilt with my wife who developed severe complications from bladder cancer surgery. I thought she ws a goner(ruptured abcess from a perforated small intestion) when I drove her to the ER, amazingly, they have saved her for now. We may go home in a few days

Sorry to hear that, Eric. Hope everything works out for her. Will say a few prayers for her. Roy

I hope your wife has a speedy recovery.

Eric, Im sure everyone here wishes her all the best. That's scary stuff.

Sure hope all goes well with your wife Eric.

Same here Eric. We are pulling for you two.

Speedy recovery

Keeping you both iin the prayers Eric

Sorry to hear that, Eric. Take care of her.  I'll say a few prayers for her.
Take care,
Stan

Nice doe Dave.
Congratulations!  

Eric,
You and your wife will be in our thoughts. Hope she is recovering.

Eric,

I'm pulling for you and your wife from my corner of the woods!  I hope she gets back on her feet soon!

My son Colton and I went hunting the other day behind our house and were fortunate enough to harvest a nice 4 pt buck.  This buck meant a lot to me (all of them do) as I harvested him with a selfbow and arrow I crafted on my own, made a very clean double-lung kill, and most of all, Colton was with me...he sat next to me (motionless) and watched the deer approach and saw the arrow impact.  After some hugs and high-fives, Colton tracked the deer through the woods by himself and was able to recover the deer.  I butchered the deer the same night due to the warm temps, removed the sinew (and toe bones), have the pelt ready to be tanned, and currently boiling the skull for a European mount.

Again, what a great experience for me as a Dad!  He was so excited to be there with me and was so proud of me!  I don't want to rush these days but I cannot wait for the day he is able to harvest a deer on his own!

Below are a few picts.

Take care and good luck in the woods!

 

 

 

Today?  I over sanded one of my tip overlays and have to start over on them. Dang it!

Very cool Dino, congrats.

That is the way to do Dino.  Great harvest and hunt.  I am sure these memories will last several life times.

Nice buck Dino! Before you know it, you'll be the one watching as your son shoots a buck.   :D
I'm going out to work on a bow and enjoy the last part of a nice day.
Dave.
