2 October was a good day...
« on: October 02, 2008, 10:10:00 PM »
Greetings All,

Enclosed are pics of the buck I took this morning a 5 minutes til 7. A 24 yards he offered me his ribs. Eventhough I thought I heard him crash, I still gave him an hour. As I thought, the hour was not needed as I found him 45 yds from where he stood when I shot him.

The arrow was a hexshaft tipped with a 160 grn Ace Standard. The bow was one of my own creations.

Enjoy.

 

 

Happy hunting,
Jason

24 yards, your own bow. Well done! Nice buck. Are you done in Montana or can you get another?
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work
