knappy head

[geno]

I was wondering if anyone uses knaped heads to kill deer size game. I have not made any yet but I can not look at a pretty piece of flint or stone without thinking that would make a nice head>I think this might turn into another hobby.
I will have to do some reading..

Yes people do.  If you have ever seen the best and wosrt of Tred Barta I believe he uses them almost all the time. I think i even remember seeing him take a moose with one.   If they were good enough for indians there good enough for me.

My avatar picture on the left has a doe killed with an obsidian point I knapped. Actually that same arrow and head has taken 2 does and a buttonbuck, and is still in perfect shape!

hey, Woody.

Some of the pics on that favorites thread you linked to were missing.

Do you want me to see if I can find them on my puter at home, and email them to you so you can fill the slots back?

I think you are missing the pigs in the walk in cooler for one! I am pretty sure I have that one, and the one of you skinning with the amoeba knife

Well that's immediately what came to my mind    

My first hunt with flint I missed a whitetail up in Michigan when my arrow was deflected by a pine branch. It buried the head in a black oak, destroying the shaft and chipping the tip off the head. The next spring I went after hogs in Florida.I had one flint head with me and 3 trade point arrows. I shot a big boar in the neck with the flint head (it turned on me just as I shot) and although I got good penetration and it bled well, it didn't immediately kill it and I finished it off with a trade point tipped arrow. So I don't count that a kill with flint. The next fall/winter I used a flint head to kill a whitetail here in Ohio (things die easier if you hit them in the right spot with the first shot LOL). I'm currently turkey hunting with flint heads but haven't gotten a shot yet.

I know Dean Torges, Doug Campbell, Tim Ott, Ralph Conrad, and Matt Graesch, just to name a few have all killed deer with flint heads.
