Kill Markers

[ZaneD]

Yep I'm a fan of saving the arrows, and Alan, I like the idea of notching my knife. I don't notch my bows, because I know that there is a high probability that they'll be sold!

My trad bow mentor, I guess you could say, has a recurve that he marks his kills on with an ink pen I think. Just little slashes of five, but he has about 97 kills marked on this bow, all documented.

When I first stopped at his house he showed me his bows and asked if I wanted to go out back and shoot some. I say sure Ill give it a try. He strings up the bow with all those kills and hands it to me to use. I was very reluctant and asked are you sure you dont mind but he insisted. I guess I was hooked ever since.

Wonder who that might be???

I mark the broadhead with a sharpie. I had one zwickey delta 4 blade that I killed a bear and 4 deer with the same broadhead . I killed the fifth deer with that head but could never find the broadhead again .

I hunt turkeys with a old beat up 870 and have notches on the bottom of the stock for each turkey , sorta cool IMHO .

Saw a humble ole guy at a bow shoot who just took a white paint marker and put a small dot on the riser for each deer . It was on a Damon howatt hunter , it had over fifty dots on it. Was way cool . He was almost ashamed to admit what it was   :cool:

Not really bow related, but a buddy and I have a pretty cool thing we do when we kill a turkey. We'll use clippers to cut a small limb off of a tree where the turkey dies and put the empty shotgun hull on it for a gravestone of sorts.

I stopped doing anything like this (marking things) years ago when I was confronted by a friend and fishing / hunting partner.  

We rented a boat on this small lake and were slaying the bluegills.  Wanting to be able to come back to the spot later I reached over and put a big X on the side of the boat.  

My buddy asked what I was doing, and after I explained he burst out laughing and pointed out matter of factly " you dumb ****,  we might not get the same boat next time". . .

Never again
