Very special story. That is one fine bull.

That is TOO cool! Way to go!

that is awesome great job!

This is the kind of stuff I need for our submission for the local game branch and wildlife management board her in the yukon

Can I get a copy of the video please

Jer bear

Now that is COOL!

Currently the video is not in our possession since the Native people are viewing it. I can't say if the shot will make our next production without seeing it, but most certainly the live animals and the nature of the hunt will be presented.

Mark got the black flint head from Don Gilson who made it from Kentucky stone. It is very symmetrical in shape and balance. Mark said his arrows spun like a top with no wobble and it flew great. Don is a great knapper!!! Buffalo hide varies in thickness, but hitting the animal's broadside is a must!  
This picture shows the head and arrow after the shot. As you can see the head could be remounted and used again, but I think Mark will leave it intact as a reminder of the hunt.


As you know, there are only a few places left to hunt truly wild, non-captive buffalo, and they are out of reach for most of us. The various reservation hunts may not qualify due to perimeter fencing, but if one self-imposes additional restrictions such as the vastness of the prairie, equipment, time of year, selective age, sex of the animal, and hunting technique, the romance and spirit of the hunt can bring satisfaction to the hunter and respect for the prey.

That is a great knapped head right there!

AND the critter to prove its effectiveness - a very nice and memorable harvest!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Is this neat or what?? BW

The cool factor is off the charts.    

Hey Mike, it was good seeing you last night at the club.  

Thanks for sharing the story and please congratulate Mark for me on a great and successful hunt!

Sure thing John. I stayed around a little afterwards and talk to Steve and Linda about moose, deer, turkey and wolverines! Ha! See you next week. Mike

Knapped heads don't get much nicer looking than that. Obviously effective!

That is WAY off the cool charts for sure!

Awesome stuff here.  Thanks for sharing!

"Here we have a weapon of beauty and romance.  He who shoots with a bow, puts his life's energy into it. The force behind the flying shaft must be placed there by the archer.  At the moment of greatest strain he must draw every sinew to the utmost; his hand must be steady; his nerves under absolute control; his eye keen and clear.  In the hunt he puts his well-trained skill against the instinctive cunning of his quarry. By the most adroit cleverness, he must approach within striking distance, and when he speeds his low whispering shaft and strikes his game, he has won by strength of arm and nerve. It's a noble sport."
