I can drink beer and whiskey with some of the best out there!!!! Really, I can do just about anything I want and be one of the best, if I enjoy doing it and it interest me.
I have the uncanny ability to sharpen any blade I wish to a razors edge. This comes in handy being a custom knife maker. And not using all those silly gadgets for people that cant sharpen stuff. Just simple sharpening tool or even the bottom of a dinner plate. I also have the knack for setting up other bowhunters with killer setups (like this bison hunt) I only wish people thought ahead more and didn’t always wait till the last minute before season to come to me. http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?15958-The-American-Bison-bowhunting-project-(pictorial)
Well done. If you like, you can send me the original and I will sign it. That will drive up the value considerably.
You may have misunderstood. I help hunters with their bowhunting setups to maximize their lethality. While I have setup hunters with actual bear hunts (as well as videoing their hunts for them) I don’t do that any more now that I live in the Southern (bearless) part of the state. I did enjoy the bear baiting and setup and videoing the hunters. You should know that in WI it takes 6 or 7 years to draw a tag so you better start applying today.
- High side on the Chlorine - Low side on the PH Turn out the lights at night unless you are swimming. Bugs come to the light, frogs come to eat the bugs, snakes come to eat the frogs, then they all die and decay in the pool and screw up the balance. It's amazing what flipping the breaker has done to simplify my pool cleaning.
Okay, thanks. I think my bow is fine. I just need some guidance and expertise as I am totally ignorant about bear hunting. That's a long time to wait for a tag.
Rancid gotta ask ya what sharpener do you use? I've tried every single gimmick or stone out their it seems and the only one that I've felt I can get a half way decent edge is the lanske kit I have...desperate to know of a better one or steps to actually having a razor sharp edge.
Nothing special. I have such an assortment of stones it aint funny. Back on the farm, during butchering, I was the sharpener. It started out when I was a kid, then for neighbors and then I started making knives. Man made and Arkansas stones are fine but I find them too slow so today I use the same methods but have switched to diamond and ceramics to save me time since I do a lot of sharpening. You have good luck with Lansky because it helps you keep a constant blade angle. That is the key. I don’t use any holders or guides, I just do it by eye and by feel. I’m a sharpening Savant. Here are three threads I started here about sharpening broadheads 3 blade http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?15956-Using-3-blade-broadheads-out-of-the-package 2 blade http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?16797-Poor-mans-broadhead-sharpening-pictorial Stone http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?15953-Making-stome-arrow-points-(Pictorial)
Gotta keep working on it I guess, thanks for the thread links. My fillet knives just haven't been the same since my Grandpa no longer is around with his shaman like sharpening skills.
Fillet knives give lots of people grief. The super flexibility of the blade coupled with the very flat blade angle coupled with the uber thin-ness of the blade make them a challenge for even those able to sharpen a regular knife. Fillet knives are where diamond and ceramic sharpeners come in handy. These sharpeners are expensive but if you do a lot of sharpening, they are worth it.
I would say for me I am good with my hands ( lucky for me since I'm a chiropractor that'd be bad news otherwise haha), I can pick up any athletic event relatively quickly, and according to my friends I can do wicked impersonations
I also have the awsome talent and skill that allows me to take dead turkeys and make them fly again. http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?15957-Recycling-a-Turkey-(and-getting-it-to-fly-again)
