I was fortunate enough to get to hunt Kentucky's bow opener Saturday. Living here in Illinois I am usually pacified with a great bow hunt out west for elk or mulies in September before we get things kicked here October first. This year after training for my 4th triathlon of the year with my eye on the 5th, I developed some chest pain after a 2 hour bike ride. I had to cancel my trithalon slot, and to my disgust, my elk trip I had planned. To say that I was bummed was an understatement. I am set for a stress test (fun), but it hasn't kept me from shooting my bow!
A friend helped me out of my funk by inviting me to bowhunt his family farm. I had high hopes of perhaps taking a great deer in velvet but jumped at the opportunity to take this great doe instead. It's my first Kentucky whitetail since my college days at Murray State University 12 years ago when I used to hunt Land Between The Lakes as much as I attended class! It's also my first with my new-to-me Palmer recurve bought from a fellow tradganger. Arrow weight 612 gr, CE Heritage 250s cut to 30.5 in, 200 grain Muzzy Phantom 2 blade.
