I used a TallTines Recurve 69#@28, GT 7595 arrows, and Muzzy Phantom SS. They are a truly fascinating animal, not bad eating either, and are very stalkable due to somewhat poor eyesight. I say that with a grain of salt as I had one peg me earlier in the week just before a shot.

They are the only animal I know that stink so bad you can smell them the whole time you stalk them- at least you can tell when the wind is right,LOL.

Sweet, looks like a great shot, and a cool trophy.  My dream to hunt those some day.
