This is my first bow killed buck

I killed him in Henry County KY in November of 1996. He was shot from a 15' high treestand at 12 yards with my PSE Polaris Compound as he trailed a doe during the first part of the rut. I use Satellite Mag 125s on the compound. I got him in the back part of the lungs and took out the liver. We didn't have a good blood trail so we gave him all night. My buddy Kenny found him 125 yards later. He's on my wall as a reminder of a very special hunt. [The deer, not Kenny!]

I am a proud member of the PBS:

One of my greatest joys is building selfbows from local trees. Check out my:

Bowyer Page

and especially my:

Stalking Tiller Live Page

for some pretty cool stuff (if I do say so myself)!
Most of the inspiration and instruction on how to build a bow came from folks at the Stickbow .

Here's my Backpacking List from my 1998 Colorado Elk Hunt

Here's a nice paper written by Mooseman on Hunting in Alaska.
