John Vargo is one of the good guys. I've had the privelege of hunting his place as well. A gracious host who is one of bowhuntings most dogged protectors.

Beautiful deer there Jeff. Lotta meat on those hooves. I know the area where you were. When those bucks rut down there, there's just no talkin' to 'em eh? LOL! The habitat down there is good for bucks to grow old in. Glad you had a great time!

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Jeff,

You did okay for a Virginia boy.  Glad you shot one of the "little" ones as we had quite a wrestling match getting your buck in the back of the truck.  Maybe your pet buzzard will still be around next time you visit.

Nice buck.  Glad you liked our state.  When you live in Iowa your whole life it is easy to forget how good we have it, deer hunting wise.
