Beards
 

I like this so I think you may too. Made from an old mirror. From Georgia Outdoors News.

The mirror looks great but why would someone include the modern wheel bow :eek:and the space age garbage on the other side of it ?:shock:

Very cool! I really like that 'Old Time" look to it.

And speaking of beards - a few days ago a small flock of turkeys crossed the road in front of me and with them was a big ol' hen with about a 9" or 10" beard.
There was a bearded hen running the woods and fields where I hunt in VT for about four years and all the hunters in the area agreed not to shoot her, even though it would be perfectly legal to do so.

Yeah Paul; He needs an 8 gauge Parker to display with that. Dean : That hen would be very cool. I thought I had killed one last year but it turned out to be a gobbler.

Love the rack! I have never understood hunting with a bow that is basically a gun with a string on it, but I guess that's just me.

It is using a 'primitive' weapon to take big game animals at distances that woodcock and grouse are taken at. Extreme patience and skill are required to be successful.

Maybe they were taken by bow and arrow??

I like it. Nice display of some great beards.

Phil, next time you go bird hunting take a long bow and see how successful you are. Michigan Bowhunters puts on a pheasant shoot every year where we all go with bows. Although any bow is allowed, everyone has a recurve or longbow - compounds just aren't suited to quick shoots. After lunch we get out the shotguns to get everything we missed. Out of about 50 guys only anywhere from 4 to 10 birds were taken with the bows. I'll guarantee a bow isn't a gun with a string on it. I do have friends who have taken turkey with a bow. All of them were sitting in a blind. Those turkey eyes are a little too good to be sitting in the open and trying to draw a bow.

Paul,

Sorry; didn't mean to ruffle any feathers (so to speak). I wasn't referring to long bows or even recurves, and I don't doubt the skill required for success with one. In fact, I've shot a few myself and enjoyed it, and although I have never been a bow hunter I've seen a few here and there that I thought about owning. I guess to me those are sort of the sxs's of bows, while the new stuff made of space age materials with wheels, sights, release triggers, etc. (hence the guns with a string comment) are the Benelli autos. Nothing wrong with them if that's what you like; just not for me. No intent to offend. Hang a long bow on that rack and I'm all about it :)!

Okay Deanno, I'll bite. Was she the one holding the tennis racquet? :whistle:

No, but come to think of it, she did have a sweater tied around her shoulders with a big PA on it. :cool:

Very cool.

would like to have seen that old gal with the 9 inch beard and wearing that sweater...charlie

I wasn't offended - it would take a lot more than that to offend me. And I was just teasing about the modern stuff.
