Caught up with camp chores and putting up fur…going to relax with my flinty for a couple hours…found a nice spot under a white pine near an old windmill.
Hey Dino
Saw the picture and knew it was your post. Old wind mill is very cool! Glad to hear you had some fur caught. Best of luck hunting

Ground hunting with the self bow this afternoon. Watching what looks like a freshly worked scrape. Real thick cover, the deer will be close if I get the opportunity.No deer sighted yet but keep reminding myself all it will take is just one deer to turn a good hunt into a great hunt. Good luck everyone.

Live from the driveway…heading north of the ADKs to set up a primitive camp to live in for the next ~3 weeks to hunt (flintlock/stone point), trap, and fly fish. Glad I just got new springs for the Jeep!
Good luck hunting!
Good Luck my friend. Looking forward to hearing about your adventure when you get back. Take care and be safe. brian

rachunter,
The hole is from the way it grew in nature. The hole serves no purpose other than to give it character. The Bowyer who made the bow has made several over the years with knot holes in them, thus his nickname Hole in the Bow Chuck.

I just finished up making this short video of a recent self bow hunt. My friend Dino did the hunting while I did the filming. We had a good time on the hunt. Hope to make a few more videos this season.

Last year I did some primitive deer hunt videos. I called the series Buckskins and Bows. Here is the first Buckskins and Bows video of this season. Have a good hunt everybody.
Take care, brian

Thanks Bill.
I was hesitant on posting a unsuccessful hunt video but decided to post it, to show the realistic side to chasing spring turkeys . The truth as most long time turkey hunters know is there are going to be times when you come home empty handed.

This old tired body managed to climb the mountain for the last day of the season. Funny when the season just started this mountain was only a hill!!! I guess I am getting old.

What has changed?
I assume the question refers to turkey numbers as compared to the past.
I started hunting spring gobblers way back in the 80s and the numbers were probably very similar to today’s in my area of New York. That said the current population is low compared to a decade or so ago. My thoughts are cold wet springs effected the poult survival rate. The lack of trappers out there is not helping the poults ether.-

For the last 2 weeks I have had single mature hens come in to my fields in 2 separate locations that are 10 miles apart. Both of these hens walked in from the far end of the fields and we're clucking and cutting loudly. They would stop every so often and give out a very short low volume yelp followed immediately with clucking. We actually recorded the hens calling so that we could use the recordings for practice. There is no better calling teacher than a real hen on the move. Several years ago I heard the worst turkey calling ever from a neighbor's woods. I was convinced it was one of the neighbor's kids walking through the woods with a newly purchased call. The calls were way too loud and we're too frequent and off key. I waited for the kid to exit the woods and to my surprise saw a mature hen come out still calling. I learned a lesson. It is not what the call sounds like to a human but what it sounds like to a bird that counts. valoroutdoors.com
Yep. Over the years I have heard many terrible sounding hunters that turned out to be live turkeys.

Lost eye glasses, high winds, angry hens, fisher cats and reports of strutting gobblers. Just a typical morning for a turkey hunter. Good Luck Everybody.

Hey OB, I was wondering where you got that call from anyway? Looks pretty vintage; is it worth anything maybe?
NorthCountryMan,
The call is from a collection of Vintage Game Calls. Not sure on the current value.
Take care,
brian

Hunting the giant wild yeti
in General Hunting
Posted
I could not find a Yeti hunting forum so I hope it is ok to post this in the general hunting. It is a true story about hunting the giant wild yeti complete with pictures as it appeared in a archery magazine. Be careful out there.
