Only on Trad-Gang----a trophy doe on a banner!!!!

[Schultzy]

Wow, what a great community this place Is!!! I can just about gaurantee you wouldn't get these type of responses on any other hunting forums so my hats off to everyone here!! This type of hunting community Is the type of people I share my bow hunts with. Our little group of bow hunters Is proud of anything we shoot regardless of the size. As long as you the hunter/shooter Is happy about your harvest, were all happy.

Congratulation's on your deer, well done sir!!

That's a world class trophy in my book. Never did care much for antler soup - yuk!

It doesnt matter if that was the first deer or the tenth you have taken...What a trophy!! Period. My hats off to you sharing that experience with your daughter. Wether it was just for the picture, or the actual hunt itself...Good on you dad             Some day I hope to be posing for a picture with my deer, along with my little princess as well!

WOW >>>-------->  This thread has really shown the WHY I love this site and Trad archery in general! Lots of friends, who I hope to meet some time, lots of knowledge, friendship, and good old fun! Best part---LOTS of people who share the same ideals I do about hunting that I am teaching my little girl---it's about the hunt; doesn't matter how big---but when you can have a deer SO CLOSE to you and still not get the shot you want and you just smile, pass the shot, and watch nature at its best----that's hunting----the shot and kill when it does come----that's the bonus. Cause then you're eating good!

Now it's time to go out and finsh my first bow---pics coming soon when I get it done. Still gotta finsh sanding it and  applying finsh. I'm proud of my first try and my wife already wants one too.............
thanks guys ( and gals)

You are right on target BEN. What a blast to sometimes be sooooo close - and no shot! Gotta love it. Just gotta! And when it comes to "drag handles" who cares? I mean they are good for makin' buttons on a quiver I guess.......

Ben,

The real "Trophy Doe" in that picture is the little Princess in her PJ's.
