Chasin Bunnies with Wolf Watcher..
« on: February 18, 2009, 10:55:56 pm »
Went out into the badlands with Wolf Watcher and chased the wiley cottontail warriors through the greasewood and sagebrush. We saw lots of bunnies, they were really spooky today and our arrows made contact with lots of dirt as the speedy little guys out ran the cadar shafted death. ;D I got lucky and made some meat, was a great day spent walking some sacred lands with a true brother of the bow... hope everyone enjoys the pics..Hawk a/ho

Hawk, I forgot to ask but what kind of handle on Wolf Watchers bow?  Looks like maybe some kind of primitive take down  or splice. Again beautiful country, no place like Wyoming.    Kenneth

That looks good Mike - man you and Joe are having too much fun ;D. Which is the greasewood, is it that brushy stuff I guess?

Little John:  Both bows are Marc St Louis creations!  My bow is rosewood, boo backed and the handle is
a walnut, white ash, bloodwood, and rosewood laminate.  The only problem with the bow is it's shooter!  ::)  So much fun spending the afternoon flinging arrows at bunnies with good friends.  My excuses:   ::) very thick sage brush, poor shot angle, unknown target distances from a few feet to many yards, fast running and quick to jump rabbits, and Stacy there to take pictures and laugh at the misses!!  The good news was no lost or broken arrows, my hunting partner was missing also!  Mike did break his lucky mojo arrow!  :'(  Am going to Argentina in two weeks to hunt red stags.  Am taking my bow, "Rosie" and three Cowboy arrowheads.  Hope those stags aren't hidding or running thru the sage brush and are somewhat larger than our Wyoming bunnies!  Watcher

I only missed a few dozen times ;D ;D , Lloyd look forward to seeing you guys this summer... let's plan it. Paul, the grease wood is the stickery brushy stuff.. great bunny habitat. Kenneth, you got that right bro, no place like the Shining mountains :) :) Greg B the true icing was that even though Watcher shot better than me all day, my  unlucky bunny finally zigged when he should have zagged :o Cromm we could use some of that rain around here that you have been getting.. 8) Hawk

Lloyd, the quiver and bowcase is from the deer hide you killed and gave me... I lined it with the hide from a huge bear i killed with my bow in Montana...Good medicine brother..

Mike:  What kind (species) of rabbit is that?  They look just like our Eastern (hillbilly) cotton tails?

Thanks
