Thanks Perry, Last season I got to 20 meters of a buck thrashing his head on some saplings before the wind changed and sent him running. Jeff got a shot at close range but it jumped the string and the arrow flew over his back. We are getting closer, seeing more and more before they see us.

He's beat me every time which isn't too Hard I wish you every success with it.
regards Jacko

Re: Longbow Steve gets first fox
Hi Steve,
Well done on the hoggies mate... shame about the big fella though...
Comments like these may lead one to believe that you maybe contemplating a possible compound shot on one of these fallow bucks...!
Would there be any truth to that mate...???
Cheers Guy

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

No Guy he is merely pointing out that some of these compound bow deer hunters dont know just how hard real hunting actually is

Re: Longbow Steve gets first fox
Nice work Steve. Did you take the skin off that fox too turn it into an arrow quiver or some other useful bit of kit?
A fallow skin would be handy too. Especialy that pretty one.

Hi Brett, yes I skinned the tail and have it drying at the property. By the time we got back hair was slipping so I couldn't take the whole hide. SteveCockeyed wrote:Nice work Steve. Did you take the skin off that fox too turn it into an arrow quiver or some other useful bit of kit?
