I've been collecting since I started bowhunting 33 years ago. My favorite is the orignal Roy Case because he is the Father of WI Bowhunting (in my opinion) He is the one who coined the phrase "Bowhunter" Roy Was from WI and founded the Wisconsin Bowhunters assoc. WBH is the Nations largest and oldest State Bowhunting assoc. You can read more about Roy here.

Here is a bit about the buck Roy took in 1931. He was the first to do it. (non_native)

I am on the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Bowhunters association and Last year I dedicated my hunt to trying my best to do a vintage Roy Case type hunt my making my own bow and arrows and broadheads. I also made my own leather and camo and treestands (even though treestands were not legal back then but are today) Back then there was no Cabelas or Gander so if you wanted it, you had to make it yourself or know somebody that could.
He is a pic of the 1939 Case Korek We have in our collection. We have 2 of them.
