My buddy Randy last September in Colorada. We bugled it in and Randy shot it at 6 yards, direct frontal shot. The bull had red eyes and was slobbering on Randy's boots, almost. Randy's bow is a homemade yew selfbow 60#@29". Cedar arrow with Magnus two blade Broadhead. It ran 50 yards and piled up.

Thanks guys!  Great moose Bone, was that a Washington bull?

Nice work Scotsman, bet your buddy was excited when that was at 6 yds!   

Tree Killer you are very skilled!!!   Loved the input on BTC.  I need to get back there to read some more information.

Seems like a century ago doesn't it The Hunt? Haven't looked at BTC in 4-5 years?  I keep up with a few folks from Oregon and Washington thru email and facebook.

Thanks guys.  That was my Alaskan moose.  I got my Washington moose with my compound, pre ditching of the training wheels.

wow I'm blown away by you guys!

Wow, those pics are great. I've wanted to take my longbow out, but I'm always worried some critter will give me a 40+ yard shot that I won't be able to take. Maybe I'll reconsider though because there's something poetic about having a longbow or recurve  there in the hero shot.

I'm only good to 25 yds, so my range is limited.  You have to not only learn how to shoot, but how to hunt!  Hard to explain, but getting close is what turns MY clock. 

This is a bull I killed on the infamous 9-11-2001



One year later, 9-11-2002, this bull fell to a douglas fir arrows.   Both were taken with my old Brackenbury Drifter.  I retired the bow when I bought the Blacktail.

I need a stick bow.  This thread is sweet.  Nice animals.

They are a lot of fun DIY.

I had my bow made with my Alaskan hunt in mind.  You'll note the white arrowhead.  I purchased it from a Inuit or however you spell it.  Its carved out of Ivory.  I had hornseeker put it into my bow when he made it.   I was hoping for some good JUJU, and apparantly it worked.

Nice job on the elk Tree Killer.  I think I have only killed one with my Trad bow.    I can post a pic but most of you have seen it.

Getting close is a rush even if you don't get a shot. Last season I was so close I could hear the elk breathing and chewing their food. It was incredible. About 10ft. Had bushes between me and them. Tree killer I know what  you mean about getting close. In the off season I like to practice and see how close I can get.

I've been using the recurve now for the past several seasons.  I have not yet taken any big game with it, but I have been closer to more animals than I ever got with the compound.  It all starts the second you get out of the truck and start walking in.  Having the stickbow in my hand I know that I need to get close and begin by being very quiet and conscious with my every move.  Hunting with the recurve has definitely made me a better hunter.  The trophies will come with time.  Great pic's you guys, hope to share one soon.

I think that's what I'll ask the wife for, for Xmas.  Thanks for the inspiration.
