I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading everyone's post about their hunting adventures, and thought it's only right I return the favor and let you know about a wonderful hunt I had this Holiday Season.

This year Louisiana legalized the use of stone points for hunting. Several of my hunting companions and I deceided to take up the challenge and attempt to take a deer with such equipment, and Christmas Eve, I was presented with a great opportunity. At 8:00am on the 24th, a beautiful doe presented to me broadside at 12yds. A midchest shot from a new selfbow I had made this summer along with a homemade cedar arrow tipped with a fine point from Tex Holloway  ended in a 50yd dash and 10 seconds later a wonderful Christmas gift.

I've never had the chance to draw back on, much less take a large buck whitetail, but for me, this girl is a trophy I will long treasure. (Second deer with a selfbow, first with a stone point.)

Here's hoping your Holidays were just as Sweet. Best to all of you in the comming year.


 

Here is a shot of the point Tex Holloway made for the occassion. Unfortunately it broke off of the shaft when she ran through some trees and we could not find it.  

I doesn't get any better !!!  

Excellent!

Wylie, I'm thrilled as I can be for you. That is also 1 of my goals. I enjoy seeing it can be done, and it gives me hope for next season.
Great pic and great post. Thanks for sharin!!

Very cool  

Congrats on the fine looking DOE...

Way to go! I'll bet you were like me and had your doubts about a stones effectiveness until you saw what they can do first hand. It's quite the feeling isn't it?

Sweet!!! Congrats on acheiving your goal!

Congrats Sir!!!!!!........that's something special right there.

I remember a special buck like that as well....only a 6 pointer with 3 broke points, but it was Thanksgiving morn, I was on the ground, and I rattled him in......very special.

You won't soon forget this trophy I'm sure.

That's a great looking doe.  Congrats!

That Is Too Cool!!!... ...Great Job!!!

Good shootin!!!! Fine trophy, fo sho!!!!  

Very nice.

Now that is very good indeed. What a way to harvest an animal, Primitive

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Now that's the way to do it! Pretty exclusive club you just joined (not counting the million stone age men who had to survive by hunting with a homemade bow and stone ha ha)

Congrats of the first order sir, and might I add nice picture!

No better trophy in my book!  Congrats and Merry Christmas...you did her right.    

Nice photo too.

Well done !!!

Great memories make wonderful trophies..

Great Pic and Congrats  

the doe died of natural causes! And that cannot be overstated!
She is a trophy!
Congrats!!!!          

There all trophies in there own way. Keep going the way you are and that big buck will come someday. Taking that doe with a stone point is really something, my hats off to you.
