A dad's gotta brag a little....
« on: September 20, 2005, 11:54:00 PM »
Been a pretty slow season for me so far this year, with the heat and then all the work I have to get done before I can chase them goats.  Still, my son Kory and I have managed to get out a bit.   Opening week, Kory climbed out of his treestand and made a stalk and kill on this young turkey....his second in three years with a longbow.

 

Then this past weekend, Kory stalked and filled his doe tag.  He was worried about waiting until later to fill it, as it took him awhile last year.  This is Kory's 6th year hunting, all with trad bows.  He is quite a veteran already at the tender age of 17, and my best hunting partner.  Still got a lot of season to go...if the elk and antelope would only cooperate!

Awesome job   :thumbsup:  

Anybody who can stalk a turkey and a doe and take them with a longbow is a hunter in my book. Of course I read that this is not the first time.

Way to Go Kory. If I were an elk or prong horn I'd be heading out of Montana.
 Congrats Dad. I know you're proud!    Pat

Mark and Kory,

Good job to both of you.  Neat to see a young hunter who is stalking animals with a trad bow   :thumbsup:
