Every once in a while it is good to dust off an old recurve and go out and actually try to use it. The old bows are fun to look at but even more satisfying to unleash in the field.   Tomorrow I'm picking "Wade from Omaha" up at the airport and we are heading out bowhunting black bears. We'll be spot and stalk hunting around Homer. I am bringing a '59 Kodiak, 60", 54#. Plus I am packing a  B-handle for a back up bow. Wade is hunting with vintage Bear take down too, I believe. (We'll see what bow he packed when he gets here)  We have a couple salmon charters booked and a day of halibut fishing too. Should be a good time, I will post some adventure pics, for sure . Be back in about 2 weeks!!  

good weather - shoot straight - don't fall into the drink - enjoy - and my regards to Wade

waiting for pics,

Oh yeah I have never hunted with anything but vintage bows.I think the newest model I have is 1981...Ya gotta love em....I just shipped an A riser to Wade last week.Maybe he's going to bring it along..Enjoy and keep us posted....bowdoc

Sounds like fun Chuck, looking forward to pics and stories.  Trap

Chuck-you and Wade are gonna have some fun times!!

Let us know if Wade is using that $850 original Glenn St. Charles quiver.

Hey thanks everyone. I think Wade is using the A-handle Don,  he said it was shooting good for him a couple days ago. The B-handle I am taking was made in Gainsville. I just can't see dragging around my 1970 B-handle in the rain and salt water of the tidal flats we will be hunting... I am really looking forward to try calling in a black bear with a dying rabbit call ... should be almost as exciting as calling in a spring gobbler...

Good hunting and fishing to you guys.

Almost as exciting?

Happy hunting!

Good luck!!

Good luck Chuck & Wade and say hello to Wade for me. Last time I talked to him was at Cloverdale around ~'93 I guess.

Good luck to you both! Tim

sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield, I felt like a little of both when we took this pic.... too tired tonight to post any more than this, more to follow over the next couple day... it is good to be home.
 

outstanding,good work

way to go Chuck! can't wait to hear about the adventure.

Nice work Chuck!! Beutiful bear!!

A bear to be proud of! Nice

Now that you collected a Black Bear, you need a Kodiak, a Grizzly, and a Polar.

Nice Job Chuck,  Can't wait to hear stories.
