HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Overspined]

Westbrook, I wish the APR went statewide, or it would be nice if 1 buck per year were the limit.  I'm not a headhunter either, but down here in farmland there are as many 1 1/2 yr old 8's as spikes up by you.  They are usually very small but would still be legal.  There's no perfect answer. I have NEVER seen the same buck 2 yrs in a row that I could identify!

I have taken a few good ones and lots of does with the Hill style bows though, for quite a few years. I have missed some too!!      

Good luck michigan Hill shooters!  And luck to those out of state as well!

[WESTBROOK]

Hey Matt    

How'd it go out west, everyone come back?...

I thought 2 buck tags was the dumbest thing ever, wish they would roll that back too.

Good luck to ya!

Rob, I'm glad to see you using a strap on quiver.  I didn't enjoy my back quiver this weekend, and was considering using my EFA instead.

One thing I can do Jeff with my bow quiver that I can't do with anything else is to make a bit of a blind with it.  



I keep two bands wrapped around it and cut small cedar boughs when on stand and stick them in there.  At arms length it helps keep them from seeing my eyes.

How was your hunt?

Never thought of that, good tip, thanks.

Good idea rob.  Passed on a basket 6 and poked a porcupine...a first for me

That Northern Mist with the GREEN glass is gorgeous.  Any more pics of it?

"poked a porcupine".  Get your arrow back?    

Yep, that green glass is definitely one of the most eye pleasing colors.

[WESTBROOK]

Rob, how much did the bow quiver change you arrow spine requirement?

Negative. I think it may be in orbit

Too funny....guess he was in a tree, huh?

Eric - no change in spine with woodies for me.  It gives the bow a different balance point, but you adapt to it within a few arrows.

Eric.
"Like your Green NM Classic",its simlar to my TD Shelton. I've been thinking about a NM Classic too!

I like that green glass!  Daggoneit, I like brown, and black - ok, and clear glass too.  I wonder why we don't see more of the green glass on modern bows.  and why not some form of "camo" or a pattern glass? Tartan?

[Overspined]

Green glass is only available on a big, special order basis.  Steve at NM and Gr Northern went in together and split an order. So it's a lot more rare than the std colors of glass.

Eric, elk hunting was great. Thanks for asking!  We got into elk every day, even close, but no shots.  I could probably have killed a calf, but didn't really consider it as she was with bigguns.  My longbows have seen a lot of miles up there, and I only wish I could stay longer every year. The fickle winds have saved more elk...

Porcupines are a good target for the bow. Here most ranchers really don't like them. Once you see a cow or horse with a nose full of quills & the dead trees they leave you'd understand.
I'm up to about 15 arrows now without any discomfort with my Hill

Not a lot of good trees to spare around here. Too bad it wasn't assaulting all the mesquites...might've gotten a pass. Here's a pic.
