Title: First deer with a bow , and it`s a buck
Post by: draco on October 19, 2007, 11:32:00 PM
Earlier this year,a good friend`s son informed me he wanted to start bowhunting. I had started his dad bowhunting over 20 years ago and he had killed a deer his first time out. I loaned him an old Saxon longbow I had that was 68" long.He`s 6'3" tall with arms like a gorilla so it would be perfect. I taught him to shoot,took him about a week before he could out shoot me. Well he brought it all together tonight and made me proud. I put him in a stand in the corner of a field where deer enter the field. I dont have any kids and he`s about the closest thing to a son that I have,and I am proud of he`s acomplishment. I dont know who was the most excited,him or me. He had to give the stern look in the photo, wished he would of smiled. "Photo

Smiling is overrated in dead animal pics anyway lots of emotions at play; he looks like a killer to me! LOL!!
