Hello all, I thought I would share the results of my very first "Traditional" bowhunt this past season even though I'm mostly just a habitual lurker here I have learned a lot in the last year or so.
This buck (My biggest to date) was a long time coming for me here in the hard hunted woods of PA and to take it with the very first shot from my recurve on the very first day I ever carried it into the woods .....is something I will not soon forget! :cool:
I guess I'm one of those odd guys who can embrace both ends of the technology spectrum as a rep for a major compound manufacturer.(shhhh
)
I bought this bow (what amounts to my dream bow for many many years) right here on the Tradgang.com classifieds in March of this year and felt there might be a little karma from the start.
I guess I was right, and after months of serious hard practice and devoting the entire archery season to stick and string (knowing full well I would be limiting my shots and might pass routine compound opportunities), I was rewarded with the trophy of a lifetime.
Thanks for allowing me to share.
The buck scores 149 5/8" gross as a 13pt (busted G2 on his left side or he'd probably break 155")and sports a 21" inside spread.
The bow is a 62# Black Widow SA V , and I used a 220gr Muzzy Phantom on a GT Traditional to make the 23yard shot.
If anyone is wondering about the buck's eyes: He died with his head pressed against that log which closed his left eye, and his right has a ring of warty tumors encircling it. I said he was big I didn't say he was pretty. :D
