Tradhunter - Traditional Archery Bow Hunting Forums

I like the arrow nocks! That's cool. I've made them from deer antler, but yours looks great.

Welcome Daniel!

There are some great members from Europe!

Looking forward to some of your hunting adventures.

Couldn't get the pictures to load. Sorry!

The drive to Manitoba was a grueling 33 hours from our Upstate NY home, but it was still about half the cost of flying. We might have made it a bit shorter except for the couple detours due to extensive flooding in the Winnipeg area. There are two major rivers converging there and they were way out ...

Packed up and will be hitting the road tomorrow afternoon. The weather forecast for the Manitoba hunt area looks perfect for big boar movement. Sunny and near 70! Jen and Tyler are ready for the adventure. Please wish them luck and pray for straight arrow flight.

Burlap is nice... but the threads are a little bigger than I'm used to. If there are bears around and you put the kids on them, I'd be happy to sleep outside on velcro!

Bjorn, I'll most likely be shooting my 66# two piece TimberHawk longbow with Legacy 2219 tipped with a Snuffer or Woodsman. I could switch to my 75# three piece TimberHawk recurve?

Ryan, tomorrow and it will be exactly one week before we'll be checking out the new linens. What thread count did you get and are they Egyptian?

Thanks for the tips Venator.

We'll be hunting the last week of Sept. and the first week of October.

Thanks everyone! I hope I have a great story to tell that ends with a big dead moose! I'm looking forward to the hunt and will have a great time regardless. It's hard to lose when you are in beautiful country and in the company of a good friend.
