I've taken a few deer with compounds and guns and none compare to the one I took with a recurve I built. It was my first trad deer.

Anything less than traditional archery hunting will probably leave you less than satisfied from now on. Congrats!

Bowhunting straight from the heart...and in this case straight THROUGH the heart.

Congratulations on your first kill, and many happy returns.

Perfect shot placement, considering your high perch. I love drain holes under the heart.

Awesome story, well told! I felt like I was up in the stand with you, peeking, listening, dreading the Big Snort. This stirred a lot of my own memories, and I thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Just returned from a hunt myself and had a chance to catch up on this.  Great job Christian!  On everything - the shot, the story telling, pictures, but most of all for sharing the excitement with us all.  You had my heart pumping just reading it!  :cool:

Don't mean to sound like a broken record but thanks to you all for reading my story and posting the kind words.  

Earlier today, I brought a few students in to see the pics and read the story - it was a blast!!

One of them (Chris) was the recipient of a bow and set-up from Vermonster's youth give-away program...we only had a chance to look at the pics.  He's going to read the story tonight.

Based on the look he had while viewing the pics - I have a feeling we're going to be doing a lot of shooting in the upcoming months.

Thanks again all for your support - means alot.

Ok...I'm going to say my last thanks to all and I promise to have a post of my "Second EVER" as soon as it happens.  Can't tell you how much I appreciate all the support and responses.
