The Georgia Coast 2

We started with the bows sometime about '69 or '70. There were no sport shops where we could buy gear, so we mail ordered what we needed from Herter's. 

The first few years were a slow start, mainly because the season was only 2 weeks as I recall which only let us hunt a few days each year. When the gun season came in the bows were put up...

 This was the heaviest buck we weighed on the coast at 156 lbs. and the best rack that was harvested by bow. At one time the buck was so close to my Dad he couldn't shoot and had to wait until the buck walked away from him to get the shot. Dad harvested several of his better bucks by bow...

We scale weighed our deer and removed jaw bones for many years gathering harvest information for Dept. of Natural Resources Biologists.
