I realize this may be a sin, but I think ol' Fred said something like 'Shoot 'em if ya got 'em'.  Ok, so I am paraphrasing a bit.

Anyway, it's REALLY cool bowfishing with a 45-year-old rig...in Zebrawood no less!

Honestly, I probably wouldn't have done it if the previous owner didn't refinish the bow with one of those tough epoxy finishes.  I could probably drive a nail with that riser without leaving a mark.

Here's pics:





Oh yeah, that was just the capper to a great outdoors day--ya gotta love spring...between chores I started training a young fox squirrel to come in for walnuts; found a handful of morels in the lawn (sorry Johnny, only enough to dirty a pan so I traded a neighbor for rhubarb pie...not enough shrooms to send your way); saw two snakes sunbathing; and accidentally jumped a hen turkey in the middle of my little woodswalk archery range.  Here's what she was sitting on so I vacated the area:

Nice my friend... Great Pics,

Cody

Jeesh, you are living right man!
Outstanding day outdoors. Enjoy the spring!

Have any pics of you eating the carp?  

Horney Toad, fortunately for me they are on the state's DO NOT EAT list because they are bottom feeders and nobody really knows what's on the bottom of that river   :eek:   !

The up side to that is you probably don't need a flashlight to chase them at night...just aim for the glow.

But check back in about a year and hopefully I'll have pics of me eating a jake hatched from that nest...

Nice pics and sounds like a great day in the woods.

Only joking! LOL Looks like a good time. I've never been bow fishing, but I heard it is easy to miss them!

Oh no, I think I am addicted!

Tonight I used a red stripe Super Grizzly.  I must say this is a lot more fun than waiting for a turkey to show up! After work, go shoot carp--I'm liking this. The group weighed in at 48 pounds.

Anyone know a year for the red stripe on the Super Griz?  I am guessing '72 or '73?

Bernie,
That's alright on the morels.At least I know they're sprouting or whatever it is they do.I may have to surprise you with a visit soon to do some of that stump shooting and maybe I'll get lucky enough to find a few "to dirty a pan" as you say.Nice job on the fish,nice bow,nice pics.Nice,nice,nice!!!

Bernie – my red-stripe-red-tips-Super Grizzly was sold to me as being a '74 (my birthyear). But one can't probably tell for sure.
Mine is KD 11626, the upper limb says "Super Grizzly with Fascor".

Since bowfishing is illegal in Germany (as well as bowhunting), I guess I will have to come over one day ... Nice Job there!

Bernie, gotta love bowfishing! Great pics and the Zebra wood Grizzly is sweet! My Grizzly loves fishing for suckers and carp also. Go get um, Steve.

Thanks guys,

Jester, mine is KD 16788 so I am going to say it's at least a '74.  Thanks for the info.  I have a gold/copper colored raised, (plastic I think) coin.

Bernie
