Title: Last hour of the season
Post by: tawmio on December 08, 2009, 12:10:00 AM

I shot this little antlerless tonight, shot him at 5:05 pm season was officially is over 5:25 pm. It was minus 29 degrees Celsius.
I was bit envious of the guy that posted pictures from his honey moon "hunting Hawaii" -then again i felt pretty lucky tonight.
He ran about 20 yards and stopped then stood for about 5 seconds before falling over, my arrow had passed through alittle far back, but i must have hit a main artery.

Hunting in Hawaii may be great, and WARM...but you have to admit, there is something special about hunting in the snow too!

Congrats!!!  :thumbsup:

Congratulations! Way to hang in there. I mean how hard can it be to hunt someplace as beautiful as that island in the Pacific, with the biggest obstacle being faced, the bride and she was apparently a pushover...lol I really wish my honeymoon memories could have been identical,but mine were good too.(26 yrs married to my trophy wife)

I am sorry! I ramble on.. Old folks, what more do I need to say..lol Oh yeah, good job tawmio!

God bless,Mudd

Very cool.  I have hunted many a last hour with a tag and never had the luck of filling it so far.  Still hoping for the 11 1/2 shot...

Congrats.

Thanks guys, sometime you tell people -yeah i shot a deer with a bow and all they ask about is if he was big? I'm like oh yeah hes a wall hanger, just cant see the rack.
After hunting at -29C he deserves to be mounted.
 Always appreciate the replies from people who understand.
