HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Overspined]

Centaur I have to ask, when you get those turkeys do you miss a bit? I mean I'd assume you could take multiple shots within a flock and you obviously know how to get into them. I'm impressed to say the least, but couldn't help but hope you get some and missed some because I have yet to kill a turkey with a longbow! LOL.    :D   It is not easy without a tent blind....which I refuse to use.

[centaur]

Oh, I have missed a few over the years, and blown lots of stalks, to boot. The last few years, I am hitting more and missing less, but hunting turkeys with the stick is not an exact science, and of course I have had my failures along the way. Keeps it interesting!

Well done Matt! 2.5 yards....kinda pushing the limits aren't you    :D  

 

A friend of mine called.  I made arrows for him with Hill heads and showed him how to Nate Shean them.   He first doubted the power of his Hill, then he thought those Surewwods were too heavy.  Then he asked, "Wouldn't it be better if the arrow stayed in the deer?"  "It is just terrible to watch a deer die so close."   I told him to take a picture and post it.  He says the only computer he has is his phone and he is embarrassed about shooting a doe.   The other night a doe came in on me.   All could see at first was its back half.  I decided that anything, horns or not,  with a butt that big was a trophy.   At twenty five yards I just had to peek, a giant flat faced doe.   She saw enough to keep that tree between me and her when she walked away.   Once again Pat is making me jealous, I have yet to even see a turkey this fall.   I gotta move to Wyoming.

Yeah man turkeys with a longbow and no blind is awesome. I didn't even get a chance this past spring, and have only shot a coyote when trying       I'll continue to try, no turkeys here either lately...

Eric, yeah I waited on 3 yards..lol

Hopefully start seeing some bigger buck movement, I had 7 bucks all in a group last weekend sparring and scraping. Made for a fun morning. Those big boys in MI seem to wait most years until about Halloween to get up and around.

Pavan, way back when I got into bowhunting the thought among a lot of archers was that the arrow should stay in the deer and keep cutting as the deer ran away.

[two4hooking]

My state of Maryland used to have a prohibition against "Barbed" heads like the original Hill head.  I believe the agreement was because the barbs would prevent the arrow from pulling back out of a marginally hit animal.  I believe I read that Hill had another theory that the barbed head would catch on brush and pull out of the animal.  I guess that makes sense if you get 2 holes.

My Northern Mist Shelton and Ron LaClair Autumn Legend cedar arrows made by Paul Jalon and tipped with a 185 grain Grizzly broadhead made short work of this Northern MI doe.

Thanks guys. I was hunting a very hot swamp chestnut tree. I had a doe come in before I shot the pigs and she spooked at 13 yards from seeing the other deer laying there I had spine shot. After I shot the last pig another pig came buy and stood at ten yards for a full minute. I was out of arrows. RC
