traditional way of hunting

September 22, 2012 i took down my first big game traditional bow kill in Woodville, Ms using a hand carved long bow given to me by my good friend Neal Facion made of black locust wood and my homemade arrows i made from raw cedar. I hunted this same spot on the ground out of my ground blind with a friend of mine. I've hunted all my life with guns of all sorts and even my matthews z7 extreme and killed all types of animals but nothing is like killing an animal the 'traditional way'. I posted this mainly to give thanks to my friend Neal for simple passing on the tradition to me so i can pass it on myself. The coolest part about my adventure was tracking the hog without a drop of blood and using pure instinct.

.

about a 6 inch group at 25 with this new bow. It takes a couple arrows to really understand and learn how to make them yourselves but the outcome is well worth it.

Thats hunting

Man that's awesome ! I wish more people could try this and experience the real affect of hunting . The traditional way of hunting is changing to a different tradition , with tractors , food plots , and keeping score . What ever happened to the original purpose of hunting ? Good job dude !

' 100 % '

...I admire you Slayer,there's too many yo-yo's want to use optics and tech's on primitive weapons and walk around w/a false pride like a plucked bantam rooster trying to walk'da walk !!!...if they want to duplicate the past and be proud of it then do it 100% and tell the aftermarket hype were to shove it !!!cheers to'ya

'traditional'

Is using a pump action shotgun a traditional way of duck hunting?
