Title: First Buck with a recurve
Post by: Otto on October 17, 2007, 06:51:00 PM
Some of you who hang out at Cloverdale each year have met my nephew, Mitch Otto.  A couple of years ago me and my brother Ron, (Mitch's dad) got him turned on to shooting a recurve.  He took to it and has turned into a bonafide huntin fool.  A year or 2 ago he took his first with a recurve, a nice doe.  This year, on opening day of Ohio's bow season, He shot a nice buck with his Black Widder.  I've been on him like a hornet to send me a pic and he finally sent one tonight.  Thought I'd share it with ya'll.  Mitch is in his Senior year at Miami University in Oxford Ohio.  Not bad for a college boy!!

Way to go Mitch!

Mickey - I believe Otto just got some new socks this year. We can't expect him to just lay out money for a bow. Now, if we could just get him to buy new underwear....  :rolleyes:

Congratulations Mitch,
Your uncle Virg just told me about your buck yesterday on the phone.  That is great!  Now I can put a face to the name.  We haven't met but I did shoot 3D with your Dad this summer and see him at Virg's shop from time to time.  
Now you've got to fill a doe tag...
