radio its all a part of life if they still think hamburgers grow on a bush its time they learn the truth hahaha show me the money shot Here ya go. This is what I kept staring at for half an hour before starting to track her. If you don't make a perfect shot with an arrow, they will run farther if you track them too soon. I knew it was a good shot, but waited just to be safe This is the most viewer friendly photo of when I found her. Arrows make 'em leak....a lot! This is the REAL money shot:-)

yum. Delicious meal. Deer meat healthy and clean. That is some tasty looking morsels.
Got the lung too! Hot pink blowing out everywhere makes tracking a pleasure. Real clean kill, well done radio. I see red oak, white oak and beech leaves. Beech common in flood plains, were you hunting bottoms ?
White oaks dropping like crazy here. Big crop.

wow! That is an expensive lease for sure. In Cali the ranches are huge, but the pig leases for $2-3/acre/year. Still 5000 acres at $15,000 a year is a lot of dough to go shoot a few pigs and turkeys. Ahhh man! You can still find wild turkey up here roaming the bush. "Your talikn to one, LOL." Some of the best tasting bird I have ever eaten in my life and had the chance to shoot! Thanks for the reminder, it's Thanksgiving day weekend coming up on the 10th. mmmmmm

Lots of Red and White Oak, but not sure about the Beech. I'm in the Missouri Ozarks and this was a bench on a hillside

Beech has the smooth bark w/white patches. Source for beechnut gum. Good food tree when dropping fruit. Bad about having low leafy limbs that block the man in the stand view.

Ahhw, and there I thought you used a real bow. Crossbow and rifles, no difference really.... Prefer to play with recurve over compound bows myself.......

The front of the bow follows the strands(grain) in the tree regardless of the shape. Front strands all in tension when bow is drawn. All strands in tact except at taper on ends. Tedious process to follow the grain without crossing a single strand up the front side. And a good ways up the sides. Similar to fiberglass technology but utilizes wood fiber. Back of bow carved thru strands to make bulge for handle. The arrowhead knappers hunt deer w/these using their own flint points. They have substantial draw force. If you ever shoot one of these you will understand how natives speared deer effortlessly.

Ahhw, and there I thought you used a real bow. Crossbow and rifles, no difference really.... Prefer to play with recurve over compound bows myself....... I would love to go traditional or compound! I have had rotator cuff surgery and shoulder is still so messed up I can't even pull a youth compound. In Mo to hunt with a crossbow during archery season, you must have an exemption form filled out by a doctor stating you have a medical disability that prevents you from using a normal compound or traditional bow. Lots of folks think a crossbow is easier to hunt with than a compound. I quickly found that to be Not true! While the stock and scope or red dot might have a very small advantage over a recurve, the weight and front heaviness of the crossbow is difficult to manage. They are very difficult and time consuming to reload and are no faster feet per second wise than a good compound. One must exercise extreme caution with a crossbow because if you don't pay attention to finger placement on the forearm, you WILL be missing a finger or two! If you wanna go cavemann to the max, get yourself an Atlatl

We have a few Beech around, but mostly as ornamentals in the cities. We do have a lot of Red Elm of which the leaves look very similar to beech. To be honest, I wasn't paying any attention to the tree species that morning

Nope, you were focused on the future dinner, ha. Elm leaves do look like beech. Moog point if deer are around. you got me hyped about deer hunting.
Cross bow not a match for a compound, them are killin machines. I am due a cuff surgery too. I hear recovery is slow.

kk you can hunt on Hong Kong? Would love to. The wildest beasts on earth: Greedy People! No challenge really to hunt them, they seem to be just about everywhere these days, and the meat I presume leaves a distinctive aftertaste of S@#$. No, hunting (besides Job-hunting) is not something that has been allowed in close to a hundred years here. Firearms of any kind are out and Crossbows get you stiffer sentences than being caught with a firearm. Recurves and compound-bows are allowed. Go figure; could not get away with a ten pound crossbow, but can go out in the field with my bows (70 and 100 pounds) any time. No-one ever cared if my tip was a broad-blade or for target-practice.

Not if you trained up to it. That guy has 52# in each hand. Not a lot really. He may be employing isometrics to increase the "pump" in his veins for the image. I have been back onto them recently. I don't think I could do that particular exercise today. Maybe in six months.

It's hard to beat the feeling of taking something from the woods to the table and know you could feed your family if/when things got that bad. I've never been a "sport" hunter. If I don't plan on using it, I don't kill it. Varmints excepted of course The back window of my truck has a sticker that says "Vegetarian: Old Indian word for lousy hunter"
