Post by: GBoyd on November 23, 2014, 08:36:27 AM: 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.

Title: Re: Traditional archers post your pictures here.
Post by: scotsman on November 23, 2014, 08:54:54 PM: 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.

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

(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv117%2Ftreekiller%2Ftrophy%2520photos%2FRons2001Bull2.jpg&hash=645240f34ac015d4bb974e2902ddaa2a133c35cc) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/treekiller/media/trophy%20photos/Rons2001Bull2.jpg.html)

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.

Title: Re: Traditional archers post your pictures here.
Post by: boneaddict on November 25, 2014, 06:59:46 AM: 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.

Post by: boneaddict on November 25, 2014, 07:01:52 AM: 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.
Title: Re: Traditional archers post your pictures here.
Post by: Hunterfc on November 25, 2014, 07:03:32 AM: 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.
Title: Re: Traditional archers post your pictures here.
Post by: wideleft on November 25, 2014, 08:03:17 AM: 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.

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.

Post by: TONTO on November 29, 2014, 09:22:55 AM: 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 :'( :'( :'(

Post by: scotsman on November 29, 2014, 09:47:31 AM: Nice Bull! And it's also interesting to see how many people want the "newest, best" bow when so many great bows from the 60's and 70's are out there.

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 :'( :'( :'(

Congrats on the first stickbow kill TONTO...well done! Sorry to hear about losing the pics, total bummer!

If we take up donations for you to buy a quiver with a hood that covers your broadheads, would you please buy one and use it? Hate to see you stab yourself bud!!!!!

There's a big game down here in Oregon as well. I killed this buck in 2009 the day after the Oregon Ducks beat Oregon State in the Civil War. I wore a shirt to rub it in for a few friends.

The first blacktail I killed from a treestand, he came in downwind and followed the scent line to a tarsal gland I had hung on a limb in front of my stand.

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

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.

Wow... what a thrill, that's definitely living right there. Tougher than me though... I don't think I'd want to be that close to a bear unless I had a guy behind me with a gun in case I missed and became lunch!

He was the thrid bear into the bait, he came in sweet talking a little blonde sow and then noticed a big pile of strawberry flavored popcorn, lost all interest in the sow and made a 90 degree turn and came right into the bait. It was awesome! :)

So excited!!! My first year with a recurve/bow... going for deer and elk!
Just finishing up sharpening up some woodsmen and zwickey eskimos... can't decide which one I want to go with. They both shoot good from my bow, probably just take both for the fun of it.
