Sometimes Things DO Come Together!

[Gary Logsdon]

Rare is the time afield when everything works in unison. This morning it did, and then some. I took my first buck using the bow that my friends hear me refer to as "Dad's Lucky Bow" . . . the Tall Tines recurve that bowyer Brian Wessel of
Iowa inlaid with a piece of bone taken from the antlers of my father's last buck. I was wearing a wool plaid jacket manufactured by my friend Rob Tiberio of New Jersey and a hat he also designed with a little input from the Wensel brothers and myself along the way. My leather quiver and armguard were made by master leathersmith Art Vincent of Nashville. The business end of the arrow was manufactured by my friends at Vantage Point Archery in Indiana. Traditional archery allows you the privilege of using many custom - made in America, products and it's just one of the reasons that I'm drawn to the lifestyle. The morning began with a perfect sunrise and ended an hour after first light with a 12 yard shot on a 3 1/2 year old, 9 point, 204 pound, Kentucky whitetail. No monster set of antlers but he sure made my book. Once he made the 40 yard mad dash the work really began, a long single man drag through a maze of brush and other entanglements back to the truck . . . I'm getting too old for some of this stuff but for now the rewards exceed the strain!

Congrats Gary !

Tons of pics posted here everyday..... However, this one here is more than special ! Quite a story told in your pic and face there bud. Love the reverence I see for the animal and can only imagine all the emotions running thru your head at that moment. Better save that one or better yet blow it up and frame it ! Would make an awesome oil painting IMHO.
