Hey guys and gals its been a while!

Hello,

I know its been a while since i posted but i've just been really busy! I wanted to stop by and show how tracker is being SPOILED BAD!!!! He is actually the best dog i have ever been around! Just a couple pics of him doing what he loves to do his pasion is SLEEPING!





Now i can tell ya'll what i've been up to thats taken up my time! I recently have gottin into Traditional bow hunting! Which i have showed ya'll before! I have hunted compound for years but it got very boring for me! So i picked up a stick bow about a month ago and started slinging arrows around and i fell in love! I have placed in several 3D tourneys this month and also killed a hog and a coyote with it already! Here are a few pics of the bow and my kill!




Now i have a favor and questions to ask of you guys that live outside of Louisiana! I would LOVE to cover my bow limbs in snake skin and well i don't have many rattlesnakes here in Louisiana at least not many big ones! I was wondering if you guys in texas have many rattlesnakes? If so how could i go about maybe getting a couple of them for their skin in order to put this on my bow limbs as Camo?

Well, at least when you show up you have pics! LOL! That Lacy seems to have figured out how to train you though...

Good job on the hog, and good luck with the snakes...

Have snakes...will leave gate open for you to access the property...the snakes are out there--->...take all you want!!!! DO NOT come show me what you took...I will take your word for it!

do you think the bow will stay wrapped with snake skin? it would definitely need to be conditioned with some sort of conditioner since its skin and not manmade. I bet it would be neat looking though...........

[cajunhuntin]

Its actually the complete opposite bluedog! You have to use a skin that has NO CONDITIONER on it at all for it to work and stay on the bow while the bow is being shot! I don't know why it works but its a very simple process! All you do is skin the snake and dry it on a piece of bored with the outter skin side down for 3 weeks in a cool dry place! Then take it and soak in it water after that for about 15 mins! Take the skins and use TITEBOND II to apply them to the bow limbs! let dry take a razor blade and trim the edges once its completely dry after sanding the edges just a tad bit clean dust and apply a spray polyurathane on it to protect the finish! and you can shoot the bow all day long and it will not effect the skin at all! here are some pics of a friend of mine doing it to his bow! he is the one that will finish mine once i find a snake!

That is cool looking. I just couldn't touch the bow after the skin was attached.

That is really pretty!!! But I am with Cynthia.....don't think I would want to be touching it.

Thats really cool.....the polyurethane is the reason conditioner isnt needed. Its a sealer. I really like the way the bow looks, your on to something here.
