The selfbow in my pics with the rattlesnake skin is one I built myself out of Osage Orange growing on our property at "Home 10"...
Killed that doe with it and used a flint head

Good stuff! I used to should a self bow a bit, but never took one to the woods. I've even messed around with an Atlatl, but "modern" longbows and recurve a are my "happy spot." I feel effective and effectively challenged enough to make for an honest hunt.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I've been blessed for sure and have more fun than I probably deserve thanks to the Good Lord, great parents, my beautiful wife & my daughters.
I'm game but as you may have noticed, Johnny already has one or two things going on

Impressive critters fellars! Two things that I am terrible at it taking hunt related photos and then figuring out how to post them. I need to learn how to do all of this from my phone I reckon. I will have my some help me figure it out!

Good to see some traditional guys on here. I hope to shoot one with my selfbow this year.

Nice deer ALwoodsman. Those woods look familiar. I grew up in north Alabama and hunted those rocky "mountains" for many years. Amazing how different the terrain is just a couple hours south in my neck of the woods.

Some days I love the mountains, some days I hate them.

I started with a Browning recurve at 14 years old in the early '80s. I never took a deer with it and missed several - life was pretty simple then! I ended up going to compound bows, but I recently refinished an early Ben Pearson Mustang and have been thinking about trying to use it in a real hunt. I wish I still had the old Browning!
