I started bowhunting with my dad in the early 80's in SW washington for roosevelt elk and blacktail deer. I tried an elk bugle for the first time in 1985 and called a 5pt roosevelt into 10 yards my first morning. i climbed back out of the reprod to find my dad shaking and breathless. I immediately became an 18 year old archery elk hunting addict. A couple years later i found myself calling in several bulls on an out of state hunt in Hells Canyon country in eastern oregon.... I was hooked even worse! I had never seen country like that! I ended up working on a ranch in the hells canyon area and moving to NE Oregon to finish college and hunt elk! I currently live in Sisters, Or and have hunted most of the wilderness country in NE oregon mostly with "old school" long axle to axle finger shooting compound bows. I have always loved bowhunting but never really enjoyed the shooting very much..... until i finally bought a used jim brackenbury recurve on ebay around 20 years ago. However because of the needs of my large family i havent had much to hunt (or practice) so the bow mostly has been hanging in the garage with a used longbow i got about the same time. I " settled" for my compound and 20 and 30 yard pins to carry on my short elk hunts. About 4 years ago i realized how much i loved the trad bows and quite honestly hated where modern tech was taking both archery and gun hunting. Now one of my life's biggest regrets is not starting with a tradbow back in the 80's! there is no doubt i would have enjoyed bowhunting at a whole new level with these beautiful bows. Also being part of the amazing trad community that i hear so much about on podcasts, videos and groups like this is so inspiring and refreshing. I deliver groceries all over central and eastern oregon so podcasts have become a big part of my driving life. My favorite was the "tradquest" but I have heard and been inspired by hunters all over the world on many different podcasts Hunting with a trad bow is the best! I could easily be a bow collecting junkie but this recurve is so amazing. Its a 67# brackenbury legend. Since i had a bunch of xx78 superslam aluminum arrows from back in the day I now shoot those nicely in this bow with 350 grain grizzly stick ashby broadheads.

labor day weekend for elk and deer hopefully i will be stalking a high country bull! fall bear usually starts first of august
