I've been questioning if I should hunt elk with one of my longbows. Seeing all the successful kills makes me want to go for it. Nice job guys!

I can only ever remember seeing one guy in the woods with a traditional bow and home made arrows.  I thought it was cool but felt sorry for him because, you know, he'd never be able to kill anything with it.  I have since revised my thinking.  Love the pics, guys. :tup:

Thanks HS

The first couple kills I had Band, I was hunting Modern rifle with my longbow.   You should have seen the looks I got when I met people while packing out my buck(s).  I'm sure I got turned in by a couple of them too. :chuckle:  Them thinking I was taking advantage of something I guess.   I was applying for modern permits, but wanted to hunt with my bow, so I hunted modern.

A hunting mentor I had when I was kid told me, "The mark of a good Hunter isn't how far away you can kill 'em, it's how close you can kill 'em. Here is a bear taken on the ground at 10 yards. That'll get your adrelenine pumping. By the way, I made the bow and arrows too. Icing on the cake.

Very Cool Scotsman...
I would like to whack a critter at 5 or 6 hundred someday... because I like the challenge of putting that whole deal together (Im not talking winging bullets out there.. Im talking settling in and squeezing the trigger knowing my bullet is gonna whack him square at 500+..)... but... I MUCH more want to whack one at 5 or 6 yards!! With my LB... Not into arrow making yet... maybe someday...

I've done both Ernie and I am pretty sure you know which one I found more rewarding.

Here is a throwback.   First buck killed with my Trad bow.   Not the biggest buck in the world but I was on cloud 9.

 Already posted in the 2014 bull thread. My first big game trad kill, my second archery bull. The bow is nothing too special, it's a plain jane 1969 Bear Alaskan I picked up in a second hand store, but it is 62" and draws 50#@28", with my 30" draw she pulls a wee bit more. Feather fletched 340 ICS hunters and 125gr. magnus buzz cuts. Still wanting to take an animal with a bow I've built myself, maybe next year. Unfurtunatly I shot this bull on a friday, and lost my camera that sunday while TUNA fishing, had 1500 pics on the card documenting my trad build progress :'( replaced the cam can't replace the pics :'( :'( :'(
