Love the bonus birds! If you stand on the wings and pull their feet, they become nature's version of a Snack Pack.

I use cheap bulk arrows cut to legnth with a .38 case epoxied on it. I don't even bother looking for them if they glance off into the wild. I have also used washers behind field points or Martin used to make a jagged stamped steel washers that went behind a field point for a crude version of a Judo Point. It doesn't really matter for a disposable arrow and you would be surprised how well they fly.


Okay... Once I killed one while sitting on the top edge of a road cut. I was sitting there quietly and it landed about a foot off my leg. It looked at me and made some putting noises before it strolled behind me. I pulled my arrow off my bowstring and made a wild swing as I spun around and caught it right in the head with the side of my arrow shaft. If someone was watching from a distance, they'd wonder what the hell I was up to flogging around on the ground.


I don't care how many deer are in the area- I will always take the bird in the hand.


Good job Drew.
