Great photos Mike! Thanks for posting
I loved the fact that you did it with a STICK BOW. not many people use a LONG BOW!!I don't normally take photo's, but this was a mile stone for me, I made the bow from osage, made the arrow shaft from some red ash, fletched it from a Turkey I killed, and hammered out the broached from an old saw blade. It, the pic, is pre digital, is of poor composition and use of ambient light, not very sharp either, but all that seems to make it a very good hunting photo to me. So I guess its all in how you look at it sometimes.

I like it. never herd of it before. where was it taken from?For ROBBY AND RUDYARD..
A keeper would a shooting go
And under his cloak he carried a bow
For to shoot at a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green Oh,
The first doe he shot at he missed
The second doe he trimly kissed
The third doe went where nobody whist
Among the leaves so green Oh.
The forth doe went ore the plane
The keeper fetched her back again
Where hers gone her 'ul likely remain
Among the leaves so green Oh.
The Chorus between verses is sung as a round ---
To my hey down down
Ho down do down
Hey down Ho down
Dery dery down
Among the leaves so green Ho.

A bit more Old Country useless information from OLD DOG..
It hit just under the 300 lb. mark. Boars of these larger sizes are not worth keeping and I just haul them off to my bonepile for the buzzards, coyotes, etc.... to dine on. I've dropped many there in the 200 lb. range and they are gone by the next morning. Mighty hungry critters out there !!WOW!! now that sure is SOME BACON!! what was the weight?
