"Forks"
« on: November 13, 2009, 01:56:00 PM »
After seven long years, I can finally say I've taken a deer. Couldn't be happier...

 

Was using a Bear Montana (60@28 inches), a 640-grain Surewood douglas fir shaft, and a 160-grain Woodsman Elite broadhead. A potent combination...

Oh, and my camo of choice was, well, everything I had on in the picture...
