Finally.......My first Deer with Trad Gear!
« on: October 09, 2008, 06:52:00 PM »
After years of Hunting with Trad Gear I finally shot my first this morning. I shot it from 20 feet up at about 14 yards. It was a steep angle that penetrated just above the shoulder into the heart. It still ran 70 yards along the ridge and stumbled down the hill another 30 yards. I was using my Voodoo Kustom Longbow (62#) and Carbon Express 350's pointed with Simmons 160 Landsharks. Feels good when everything comes together! Thanks for letting me share the moment.

Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.
