Randy Gustufson, owner of Northwoods Wilderness Outfitters in Iron Mountain which is in Michigans U.P., has a wife that is a dedicated traditional bowhunter. Cindy Gustufson is in the woods just about every day with her bow and she is filling the freezer for the family. Cindy and Randy live not too far from my deer camp Shrew Haven and when she and Randy came out to visit early in the week she told us that she had been playing tag with a nice buck where she had been hunting. She saw him several times but never got the right opportunity for a shot. It finely came together for her one evening and she made the shot from her Northwoods blind. :thumbsup:
She made Randy bring her and the buck out to our camp that same night to show to us. To say she was excited is an understatement :D
This was Cindys 2nd deer of the season, she took a doe with her 49# Shrew Lil' Favorite eariler.
She was featured on the U.P. outdoor show Discovery last week.
Congratulations Cindy, you earned this one :clapper:

OUTSTANDING! Gotta love them shrews.
Hi, this is Cindy from Gus' computer. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. Thanks to Ron and Greg for a fine shooting bow, I absolutely love it. Thanks for all the guys at Shrew Haven for sharing the experience with us...that made it really special.
Oh and thanks to Gus, who never doubted for a minute that I could learn to shoot traditional after so many years of shooting a compound. And for not letting me give up while I perfected the "over the back arrow attack". ;) You believing in me helped me believe in myself and have the confidence to finally get my traditional buck!
Face Your Fears, Live Your Dreams
Way to go, Cindy!

Congrats Cindy, nice buck!!!
SHREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MAGIC! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ron...is there a TV show about the U.P. ? Do you know if it airs outside of MI. I have a tiny Shrewhaven of my own near Escanaba (U.P.) that I hope to retire on and I love to hear about the U.P.
I used to get that U.P. Magazine while it was going...I think it was called Upper Michigan Outdoor Journal. They stopped coming and I couldn't find them so I am guessing they are no more.

Very awesome! It's great to see that kind of influence for my 10yr old daughter, who killed her first deer this year, with a bow. A yearling doe that was on a soy bean field. She was using a 28#@22 compound, but she shoots it instinctivly. The doe came in and Casey hit it in the heart at 17yds,(not bad for 10!). The doe ran maybe 30yds and died. Her goal is to work her way up to pulling enough weight on a longbow to do the job in a year or two. Thanks for sharing this story! :clapper:
Atta Gal!!!!!
Congrats!!!!!
What a "GIRL" shootin a SHREW :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :notworthy: :notworthy:
