My first Trad Kill!!!!!!!
« on: September 07, 2005, 05:57:00 PM »
I was hunting a Christmas Tree farm this morning.  I had gotten permission from the owner last Holiday season.  I was'nt there more than an hour sitting when i saw 4 bucks, a huge doe and some little ones.  the buck i shot was no more than 5 yards from me staring at me and i really did'nt want to shoot him since he seemed small so i waited hoping to kill his moma'.  She is a monster doe!  Well, she was smarter than me so she never came up and he followed, so i waited till he went behind some shrubs then i got into position and shot 20 yards downhill, quartering type shot through both lungs, he went down in like 50 yards.  I was using my Martin Shadow which i pull close to seventy pounds and a homade pine arrow with a trade point i made!  The old guy in the pic is the property owner who was kind enough to help me gut and skin him.....God bless "Ed"  His name.

congrats!  I've got to wait 2 more weeks to begin hunting.  Hopefully, it'll fly by fast.

Jeff, you really didn't want to shoot him cause he seemed so small? Hell, those are the best ones to eat! Congradulations.

Congrats!!!!!  :thumbsup:  

Good on you for taking the one that presented the best shot. Oh I didn't know there were "small" deer only "big," "bigger," and "bigger yet."

Way to go! David

Its meat on the table and you are proud of your kill thats what counts. Killing the biggest deer isn't the most important part its the memories of the hunt, good job!!
