I know.  What is a bowyer doing hunting with a bow that someone else made.  Answer-  appreciating a true work of art.

The Story started about 6 months ago when I met a new friend through trad gang and ended up selling him a Mojostik.  We talked back and forth quite a bit during the build process of his bow, and it was revealed the he too was a bowyer.  An unfortunare shoulder injury ended his selfbow building for good.  It also forced him to shoot a bow much lighter in weight and higher in performance than a selfbow.  We Exchanged pictures of our work, and I really admired a bow that he had built for a friend of his that had died before getting the bow.  In coinsidense he named the bow "Mojo".  After speaking of my admiration I recieved the bow as a gift a couple of weeks later.  In order to honor Jasons true tallent, and Dennis who never got to see his beautiful bow, I had a mission.  

That brings me to todays story and pictures....Until this point of the season I am without venison.  I begged my wife to let me hunt Christmas eve in the 18 inches of snow that we have gotten in the last 2 weeks.  Fifteen minutes before dark there were more than 10 deer withing eyesight. It took the doe pictured below 12 of the 15 minutes left to give me a shot.  A cedar shaft, 160 grain grizzly(razor sharp), and a 60# self bow with canebreak skin backing, filled my freezer.  A 70 yard tracking job that a blind mad could follow revealed a double lung hit.  Blood on snow sure looks cool.  God bless you for the great gift Jason.  I'm sure Dennis was guiding my arrow.
