Last season I killed a deer and a black bear using an old Bear razorhead that was at least 50 years old, and another deer with a woodsman. For 2024 I spoiled myself and picked up some 3 blade cutthroats. Not sure the cutthroats are worth the price but they do seem like very good heads. I'll...
If you haven't been around the United States, you might consider that - I'm always surprised how many Americans have traveled the world but haven't been in more than 5 -10 states. After that, southern Europe is very nice and family friendly. And for a wild card, I'll suggest Pulao - still a...
Had that happen to me 2 years ago. The light was very bright and lit up everything but persisted for 3 or 4 seconds - long enough for me to watch it - a meteor. It was so close you could see see the smoke trailing behind it. If quickly faded and must have burned completely -
At a recent SCI event, I bid on a roe deer hunt in Serbia - bid on it thinking I would never win. Well . . . looks like I'm going to Serbia. Any of you ever hunt that part of the world? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!
Thanks! My Grandpa hit the buck but it ran into some heavy timber. He got a bunch of guys to track and they let me tag along. After they lost the trail, they stood around debating what they should do next. I wandered about 20 yards from the group and there was the buck in some brush. I...
Really interesting information. I got rid of a nice Javaman bow because I couldn't fix this problem. It had a D-97 string - which I generally like. My need to play a bit with 652! thanks for the post.
Will be hunting the first week of September next your out of Kotzebue. I have 2 sleeping bags: (1) 15 degree down and (2) Minus 20 synthetic. The Down is light and easy to pack. The synthetic, not so much. Which one would you guys recommend me taking? As always, I appreciate everyone's...
"Hunting with the Bow and Arrow" by Saxton Pope is a classic. Written about 100 years ago, the language may seem a bit odd but it started me on my trad journey back in high school . . . of course the language didn't seem odd to me because that was about 100 years ago! I'd also suggest Fred...
Just learned of a new website today - traditionaljunk.com The guy who runs the site does some appraisals but also has a lot of old bows for sale. You might want to give him a call. Best of luck!
I have an old Bear with a weather rest. I've had this bow for 37 years and for awhile, I shot it off the shelf but it just performs better with a rest - so I reinstalled a new rest as you describe. I've owned about 20 other bows since I got this old Bear but I'm hunting with it again this...
