My Iowa Struck '07 Whitetail:

   

[GMMAT]

I've been bowhunting now for 4 seasons.  To date, I've been out with the traditional gear <10 times.....and I haven't scored with it, yet.

Having taken 22 big gme animals oer the last three seasons with a compound, I can tell you that not many things leave me awestruck in hunting.  

I looked through all 9 pages of these photos, just now, and I AM awestruck.  Kudos to all of you who've shared.

I made the leap to devote my entire 2009-2010 whitetail seasons to traditional tackle.  I hope to add my own harvest photo to yours in the coming months.

Thanks for sharing.
