a fallen brother of the woods, medicine deer
« on: March 27, 2008, 12:38:32 am »
a buck i shot with a compound, least i can say was i shot using instinct and fingers, the way my dad taught me, also i had a flinttipped wooden arrow in my quiver. ;D. the one i shot is the one with the stick figures and the other is an old skull my dad found in WV. the deer i shot i saw 3 times once in summer when he let me get within ten yards. then when i was carring a flintlock for the 3 day doe season, he let me get to within 5 yards! seriously, then i shot him the last time i saw him when i was carrying a wheel bow. this deer was on top of a desolate mountain in northern Pa and probably hadnt seen many people. i was wearing my medicine around my neck a bearclaw necklace with a buckskin medicine pouch tied to it. though i hope to post picturs of me with a deer shot with a stickbow this year. :) a little rough in my artists skills but my best way of honoring my brothers skull and horns. :)

Aho ... brother, the honor you show while on the hunt is far more important than the weapon used.. you should never have to make excuses for any kill you make with honor... thanks for sharing. reminds me of myself when I was young ...you will surely be posting many pics of your selfbow harvests.. this year...

I grew up on the Old Ways...My Grandfather Farm...which I grew up on....had no modern Machinery....all work was done with a team of Welsh Work Horses...and Horse Drawn Equipment...I was taught to work Wood at an early age...and to work a Forge...my Grandfather made Wrought Iron   for a side job....and taught me how to work wood into Bows and how to respect the Creatures that Mother Earth has supplied Us to Survive on...and I am glad to see that this is not dead in all of todays youth....back Home there are few Native Americans that can make more than a Tourist Bow...or Lance...they were never interested in learning what there was to be passed down....They just wanted to fit in....and because of this...it is a dieing Way of Life.....so let it live within You and pass it on...  Mino Ayaa Huntertrapper

lol, i know. and thats cool. the only real sence of tradidion or respect for anything in my family is that alcohol is more important than anything els. somehow i didnt find that to enticeing, so i decided to start something new. respect the land, the animals, the air and the watters, for they are all god's creations. and most of all, a familly is worth more than the biggest diamond or chunk of gold on the plannet, and if you are so lucky as to have one, treat it like so, and dont lose it over something foolish.
