Out of state hunting this season, now it's time for instate

Post by P'duck » Thu Nov 25, 2010 5:28 pm

Took a trip for Black Bear to Canada with my bow and then hit Texas, Idaho, Illinois a couple of times in Pike County and then Southern Illinois for gun season. Ready to turn my attention to Florida now for some whitetail and hog action before heading out west in search of Mt Lions in December and then Texas again.

450#+ with a Pope and Young 22 2/16" score

Another Texas pig, taken with a cell so not the best pic.

September I took a trip to Idaho in search of my first Mule Deer and found this gal at 25 yards, can't wait to go back next year. Sorry fr the pic we had to use break lights to get enough light for a picture.

Another Illinois doe.

Been testing a prototype this fall also and here is my instrument of destruction, owned by a company in Florida, made 100% in the USA and assembled in St Petersburg to boot.

Here is the bowfishing bow I've been testing out also.

We actually ate some of them, had a greek chef that goes with us and he can cook like no tomorrow... the goat was actually good and served cold.

The leverlimb design offers a very smooth draw cycle with higher kinetic energy and higher than normal let-off as well. I am shooting ranges from 92-97% letoff with the bow and there is no big "drop off" at full draw, the bow simply falls into full draw with a nice large valley so start to finish draw is a smooth transition. The power limbs and outboard limbs allow approximately 10-15# more weight to be on the bow than a conventional wheel bow, allowing a shooter to draw higher weights. Also these use strictly fastflight strings for the cams and we had 40,000 shots on a set before failure and that was leaving the bow in the car days on end, in the garage with humidity and no wax was applied to the cabling at any time. Just a smooth easy shooting, hand shock free bow that is easy to work on and no bow press is needed to take it down or put it back together. This design has been around 25 years and these are an improvement on the designs out there now as I believe and I have shot lever limbs for 18 years now. The bowfishing world uses the leverlimbs most of the time in serious competitions and by many of the pros out there.

Ted still shoots an Oneida, he has the Extreme Eagle that Claude Pollington gave him a couple years ago. I have a herd of Oneidas and love them, anyone have any they would like to part with in any condition? I am your guy. These are a few pictures from this season and there are more, would have been a busy season but I had ankle surgery in July and some of these hunts were done in a hard cast with a velcro boot on it.

The rams are a true Hawaiian and a Desert Painted. I liked the way they looked and decided if they came in then one was going down and wound up with two.

I'm ready for Thursday to get here as friends are flying into Tampa and we head out Friday morning to south Florida bowhunting hogs and maybe a deer or two.
