I'll tell you what its not me my friend, its that little something special that has been put into a very SPEICAL BOW! Its just like those old camera commercials use to say, "Just Point and Shoot"

The only reason you don't see a whitetail buck on the ground is because I had already filled my "A" tag (buck tag). My 12yr old son Tanner had filled his "A" tag as well and Schuster only had "B" tags(doe tags) so that is all he/we could shoot with Miss Hope.  

As far as Elk go, well that's my falt, I could not make the time to introduce Miss Hope with Mr Wapiti.

Thanks Again Brent, very well done!

[Brent Rudolph]

Brian, You are very welcome. Seriously, I just get a kick out of this stuff. Special thanks to Terry and the gang for putting together a program like this...............and in the end, it goes to the kids. Frosting!

Well, since you done kilt more critters that blue tongue, what are you going to do for the rest of the season?

Now that's what we're talking about! Way to go Brian!

Miss Hope and I didn't make meat in the time we were together, however we saw some deer and spent some time in the beautiful autumn woods of Michigan.  

She attended the 2nd Annual "Buck Jam" in Leota Michigan...where a few TG members and a MI bowyer were all able to shoot or hunt with her.

One thing special I did with Miss Hope, was launch a special arrow in rememberence of LeRoy "GoldenHawk" Carlson who attended our first Buck Jam.

Thanks to Brent for making a great bow for a great cause, and Tim/Rob for a sweet armguard knife combo!

Shawn she'll be in the mail today...best of luck to those who come next.

[Shaun]

Drew, bow is here but I missed the postman. Did talked to him on the phone and he will deliver again tomorrow and I am ready to show some Iowa whitetials how she shoots.

[kojac]

oh boy shaun, she likes to hunt whitetails!!!!

[Shaun]

She arrived and is a sweetie. For me it likes 80# spine cedars 28.5" BOP with 125 points. May get a chance to chase in town does soon. Feels like a meat harvester to me.

[Brent Rudolph]

Good luck Shaun

I'm looking forward to My time with Hope. Got 9 days of vacation scheduled.

[bretto]

Picked the bow up at the Post Office this morning.

Inside the case was a beautiful bow a sweet looking armgaurd and knife combo a log book and a broken arrow.

I read through the log book didn't see any info on the arrow.

I moved My vacation back a week it's supposed to be in the upper 70's till next Thursday. Hope to have a story or two to post. Time to see what arrows I have to shoot from this sweet little bow. bretto

bretto,

go get'em bud!!

Well hope and I didn't harvest a Kansas whitetail but we saw a couple of dandies.

Saturday morning watched 4 bucks chase a doe for 2 hours. A nice 9-pointer, 2 basket racked 8"s and one calcium deficient guy who had both sides of his rack busted off. Of course while all the excitement was going on a little buck with 6-inch spikes decided to stand and watch under My tree for 10 min. every time he would try and enter the field one of the 8's would run Him off. Then came the little button buck that I think may have belonged to the doe. I drew several times on both the little bucks for practice.

Monday morning I tried a different ridge. Shortly after daylight I heard grunting coming my way and looked up at the biggest 8-pointer I've ever seen while hunting. I tried grunting at Him and got his attention but He was on a mission and continued on His way 35 yards away from My tree.

Tuesday I set up further down the ridge in a blown down tree top. 8:15 I see long tines coming My way, thought I had Him pegged but a swirling wind got Me busted at about 15 yards. Oh well it was great just being that close.

Hope is on Her way to Ohio to hunt with Kenny Yoder I hope they have some great encounters also.

This is a great little bow. It is a surprise the first time You shoot it. Very pleasant to shoot and as light as any longbow I own.

Good luck Kenny.

My last night in Fla and my wife told me I got a long package in the mail. Me thinks Christmas has come a little early in Ohio!!

I'll keep you all posted!

[Guru]

Soooo......where are the ladies now?  The rut has passed and no stories?

[gregg dudley]

Looking forward to getting Hope for a spell in a few weeks.  Should get to spend about a week in the woods with her.  Hopefully we can put something together before I pass her on to Joel.

[buckeye_hunter]

What is the draw weight on Hope? I will have her the second part of Jan. for some late season deer hunting. I was wondering if I need to get some arrows put together for her.

Thanks,
Charlie

Hope is 53# at 28" Charlie. It shot some GT 55/75 I had pretty well with 175 grs. up front. Good luck when Your turn comes around.
