Our guys tried their had at bow hunting for deer. As the old saying goes, "the hunting was great, but the shooting sucked':
Oct.2-1960
Burt Callan, Grubb, Jim Biggers and Guy Mercer bow hunted for deer Sat. No deer. Left Sun 9 a.m.
Grubb
P.S. Grubb shot all his arrows at a buck and a doe stands and watches him cut an arrow out of a tree.
Our guys were good gun hunters, but I can find no records of anyone taking a deer with a bow. My dad was the target of much good natured ribbing over the incident discussed above. Apparently he shot 8 arrows at a buck, missed every time, dug one out of a tree in front of him, missed with it, and then threw the bow at the buck out of frustration. The standing joke in camp was that you could have made a toothpick factory out of the pile of arrows dad left in the woods that day!
