What a very cool looking bow.  It's even prettier because it shoots where you look...

Nice deer and one fine looking bow.

Awesome Shaun!!

I didn't realize that you had made it back east until this post.

I hope we get to read about your experiences from your sojourn out west.

Great job on these two!

God bless,Mudd

PS: Pitch the tipi, start a fire and roast some deer meat over the open flame. It will taste soooo wonderful. (Personal experience talking!)

Shaun,
Congrats bud ! Them long quartering away shots are death when executed properly. Hard to make yourself shoot one that far back on the near side, but you have to do that if you want it to come out the far end in the right spot. I shot a 6 point years ago behind the last rib in his waist area. Leaves were still on so when he took off I could not see him. I could hear him run about 30 yds, stop, then fall and hear him trashing leaves for 10 seconds and it was all over. I got down walked over to where I shot him and found my broadhead and 6" of arrow laying right there. When I got to the buck the arrow had come out perfectly right between his right shoulder and neck. When his right leg swept forward to run he broke that 6" of arrow and broadhead off right at the shot. When I gutted him you could see the other 22" of arrow perfectly angled thru the boiler room. I learned a valuable lesson that day on shot angles.

Here is another lesson I learned the hard way.... Do not take quartering TOO YOU shots. I lost two deer over that last several years due to my stupidity and impatience, both on opening day. Just could not wait for the deer to present a better shot and had the opening day jitters. On the quatering too you shot if you shoot the least bit too far back it just goes from bad to worse as the arrow is heading away from the boiler room.

Shaun, that is one nice bow and a great story about recurving it when others said it could not be done. Sure hope Mason can get one with his osage he made at Pappy's summer before last. Still laugh from time to time about them, " Iowa Striped Whistlers ". That was a great campfire story at Compton this past summer. Now go get us a " Horn Monster " bud !

Good meat, Shaun. My favorite kind!

Great job! That is a good looking bow. Congrats!  

Congrats!

 Great job!

Sweet! Love the stick too, Can't wait to take my first one with a bow I built.

Congratulations Shaun, You done good!  Also, that is a really nice looking bow.

I'm waiting to hear how your Wyoming adventure turned out. After spending nine months there Montana looked really, really, good.

Great story and love the deer pic BUT THAT bow is awesome!

Walt, it was good to see you in Pinedale. WY adventure went well with close to 100% success by hunters (one fellow could not hit a broadside deer at 75 yards with a scoped rifle), but it was a gun crowd, so not much for stories for this site. I will post some pics and bow stories soon.

Deer #2 finding story added to page 1.

Man two in five minutes, I have not seen one in about 20 hours on stand.  Congratulations!

Outstanding Shaun!

I was starting to wonder where you have been.

Sean

Glad you found her Shaun. Way to stay after her and not give up. Make sure you bring the backstraps out of doe # 1 to Compton, haha !  

Congrats Shaun. Two great deer and that is one sharp bow!

way to go Shaun.  You never fail to continually show me the hard to do it is the best way!

       

Way to go Shaun!!!  Love the profile on your bow too.
