Man this is a great thread. Congrats to all you guys that have hit your mark. The photo's are awsome. I'll be starting my season on Saturday and hope to get some good pics to post here. A guy at my local bow shop told me, "You can't kill anything with a stick bow." I'll have to show him this site.

Dang, Doug.  That second photo is real interesting, your heart was probably making a lot more noise than you wished at that point.  Going from hunter to "never mind" is an interesting transition.

Doug, That's a bear that I don't want to find under my treestand.  Great picture...I'd need one of those vibration stablizers on my camera to get a focused picture  :)

Here in the western suburbs of Boston, we have a bear problem too!  This blackie got into our horse grain shed the other night.  Might just have to try your technic in my stand...Doc

I'm pointing to the scene of the crime.....up on the bench where I missed the most beautiful sitka blacktail buck I've ever seen, crowned with a big velvet rack with many points.  The rainbow appeared during my stalk, I thought for sure it was a sign from Above, so I moved in close and.......missed!

Wow! Them's some great pictures! I'm in awe!  :thumbsup:  

Today I killed my very first stickbow buck in Tioga County Pa. I was sneaking along an oak bench, and spied him feeding my way. I ducked behind a big old oak tree, and he walked right in and offered a 11 yard quartering away shot.

  I'm hooked. Man am I hooked. God I am so hooked. After 32 years of chasing whitetails with archery gear, I have been reborn as a bowhunter.

  I got ALOT of good info from the guys on this site and the gang on the Bowsite. I am eternally grateful to those folks.

A co-worker (Sharkey1) has been talking to me for several years about converting from a wheeled bow to a trad bow.   I took his advise and started shooting a recurve late last year.  I have not taken an animal with it yet but love shooting it and man am I hooked.   This is the first year I started hunting with my recurve.  
  Sharkey1 has not hunted in a few years due to a his job and hours but started back up and this is a pic of him walking to his stand.   He dooes not know I took the pic or that I have posted it.  LOL
   

This is a pic of my Bigriver recurve and the back ground is one of the farms we hunt.
