Ratdog68, I took both of those Rosies with my Damon Howatt Hunter recurve 53lbs @ 28". I draw at just a bit over 30" so it shoots at about 58-60lbs for me. Damon Howatt archery was bought out years ago by Martin Archery...they still carry the same basic bow called the Martin Hunter. As you say, it's always rewarding to harvest an animal with traditional gear.
I'm familiar with Damon Howatt... I have a Diablo... and an X-200 (Martin, probably made by DH). Besides the one I made myself... one of my favorite bows is my Martin Mountaineer longbow. Nicely done... harvesting with traditional gear... now THAT'S archery !!!

I have comment on the topic of hunting pics that is timely: how a photo is staged and presented says alot about us as individuals and, sometimes unfortunately, hunters as a group. In my opinion, personal photo albums, not public forums are the place for pictures featuring gut piles, arrows still in the animal and severed heads. I think that on these public forums we need to show ourselves in the best light possible which requires some thought. I would suggest we think about it, please, when we are taking and sharing pictures.

**** If you alternate your lifestyle because of a bully, hasn't the bully already won ? Good to be sensible for sure but the pictures discussed have not gone over any line that I can see. Congrats to all. Mike

It is a free country
Yes, and in this free state (country) I-713, the trapping initiative, was passed one week after the anti's ran a commercial showing a house kitty in a toothed, steel jaw trap; which wasn't even a legal trap in this free state (country); so their offensive advertisement had to be pulled off the air; but the damage had been done and the trappers lost.
What if the question of whether or not we can bowhunt winds up as a ballot initiative someday? Do you want a tasteless (and to some but not us offensive) photo to show up in an anti-hunting advertisement and for the non-hunting public to base their opinion of archery hunting on that one photo? Think about that. It is a free country and it seems reasonable to me to take precautions so as to not screw it up for everyone else.
Excuse me now, I need to go try on my new pantyhose & garter and touch up the make-up. But one more thing; let not this thread be completely hi-jacked by my comment. IF the topic of 'tasteful public success photos' is worthy of further consideration/discussion, then let's start a new thread so we can leave this one as it was intended.

Mrmorton, I am trying to figure out if that is one heck of a buck or if you have really short arrows. :chuckle:
Heheh...I was thinking big buck but maybe you're right. When you have alligator arms and an 18 inch draw everything looks big. :chuckle:
Just joking - nice buck.
