    West Central Arkansas Hunter

    The wheels / Nissan Hardbody 4X4. Dont laugh... its paid for and if a tree gets in my way I can run it over. No worries about scratching the paint on that old beater!

    Apparel / German Military Surplus - Flecktarn pattern. Cheap, it works and it lasts

    Bow / Custom hand built osage recurve bow. Hand knapped novaculite arrowheads on modified modern shafts. Shafts are a pain to make yourself so I buy mine.

    Guns / Took my limit (whitetail) during bow season. Although the opening day of deer season I took a 350 pound black bear with my 7mm rem mag. I spotted her during bow season but though it wise to wait until I could take her with a rifle.. not going through the whole bow vs bear thing again lol

    No stands, calls, scent blockers, ect.. I pride myself on using the basics and obtaining the most meat with the least amount of investment.

    Added...

    Forgot about suzy lol. 1987 Suzuki LTF-230 4X4 / 5 hi and 5 low gears.. probably older than some of the hunters here ; )
