Howdy folks, been awhile since I have posted much or visited with a lot of you...sometimes life gets in the way of our passions....  :rolleyes:  Hopefully with the new year will come some new and better things for us all....

New Years day I had a chance to shoot a Javi with a stone point that I have been carrying around in my quiver for over 1 1/2 yrs....hit a little high and spined it....went down right there!
Here's the arrow and point from an earlier hunt (with my Shrew):

After the shot...broke it:

I was hunting with a recurve that Greywolf (Mark from Hawaii)built for me in 07...(I keep this bow in a very special bow box that HO'NE'HE JEFF built!!)
This was a BIG Javi....I didn't weigh it but it was probably around 80 pounds.
 


The next day in the same area, I had this FAT little fella come in...this time I used a Snuffer mounted on an Arrow Dynamics Trad arrow...doble lunged him (tried to clean him up a bit for the pics without much success.)
 

That is awsome.Sweet bow!

Very nice job! You should have weighed the javi. I think the state record is 57#. Congrats! CK

Dang ylee..I never hunted them "rock eatin javi's" I bet they're tough LOL. Congratulations on a super hunt! Great shooting! Were you hunting close to Angelo?

If thats the case then maybe I was wrong    

But I really do wish I would have weighed it to see how close to 57# it was! I've hauled LOTS of 50# feed and corn bags and this thing felt significantly heavier!

Thanks for that info Curtis, glad you are getting around better!!

Danny, isn't that the bow you want to trade me for the Crow Creek? LOL!! I'm thinkin' "NOT"! Looks like you started the New Year with some blood on the ground! Nice to see you back! Mike

Good looking critters man.

Yep Mike, I won't ever let this one go, it was built for me and then given to me as a gift. Amazing that someone would do something like that for a guy like me!!    

Good to be back! Hope to visit with you some more soon!!

Great way to start 2010 !!! Great pics  

Nice job!  Thanks for the pics.

Well-done!

           

Way to go Danny!!!  I hit mine high last week and he ran forever, think I just missed the spine.

You are a killer bud.

Way to go Danny!!! Welcome back!

It must be great to make such a clean, efficient kill with primitive equipment.  anyway congrats on a great accomplishment.
