Lookee what he did...
« on: December 20, 2008, 03:34:00 PM »
Last Christmas I gave a compound shooting friend of mine a Bear Grizzly...He  could have it,no charge..The only stipulation was that he had to hunt with it this season..

 His first day ever hunting with a recurve...Blacktail buck rattled into 10 yards...

 Some people have all the luck...LOL

Congrats to him, maybe now he's hooked.  My first year certainly did not work out that way.   ;)   Joe

Great Gesture!!! Great result!

I bet he will be back with the Grizz... He may stray, but I bet he'll get bored and come back...

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Santiam, I don't think you'll be getting that Grizzly back! That's a great blacktail, by the way. Now get your buddy on Tradgang and he'll be hooked for life!

"hooked for life".....and I bet someday, after spending thousands of dollars, and thousands of hours trying to get a better hunting experience, he'll look back at this photo and think, "Man, those were the days, wish I never traded that Griz".

I guess the buck saw your buddy without his compound and figgered he was safe.   :D
Looks like a Grizzly I have, early seventies.

Those blacktails sure are a handsome deer. I have noticed that they are nearly always wet, though.
