My Quest for a homemade deer

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to harvest a deer with all homemade archery equipment. I have harvested 35 deer with a bow but all have been with modern equipment. Last year I up'd the challenge a bit and began my quest to do it with a Homemade bow. Back in 1988, I made an English longbow with a walnut riser, leather grip and a flemish string, I made string silencers from a tanned raccoon tail. It is tillered to be 45 pounds at 28 inches.





The bow case, I sewed from a piece of denim.



The arrows are cedar. I crested them and fletched them with the feathers from a turkey I shot.



I made my broadheads from field points and band saw blade material.



I used leather to make a finger tab, arm guard and field quiver. I decorated them with leather tooling, antler buttons and bear claws.







My camo is homemade (my son is modeling)



I made my own portable climbing stand and ladder stand.









I made the safety harness from seat belt material and metal buckles. (and I tested it)
