My deer of a Lifetime:
« on: September 01, 2009, 12:46:00 AM »
Well folks, this is my deer of a lifetime! Plain and simple. Most have been here, some are about to be, I made the switch and I worked at it for an entire off season to get the confidence to take to the woods with my Longbow! Honestly, I couldn't of done it with out the help of the tradgangers! I just wanted to share this with you good folks! I picked him up tonight after work and snapped a few pics. Most here know the Story line, I want to say thanks to all on here for the help and inspiration!! This one is with me forever!

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

That is a great trophy!!!  It is not about the size of the animal, rack, or book.  It is about the journey and the self satifaction of doing it the "Hard way".  Great Job and be proud, you worked hard to get it and am sure it taste great.

I'll never forget my first longbow buck. A nice little three pointer... But it was an awsome experience and I haven't looked back since.
Looking to take my First fall Turkey this year with a nice little recurve I got.
Nothing Better than than just a stick and string and doing it the hard way. sure is gratifying.
Congrats! Kris

Congratulations, the t'dermist did a fine job too. That's true trophy; no big game animal is a pushover with trad gear.

That's a pretty trophy indeed, and an accomplishment not to be taken lightly. You have done well, Grasshopper.  8^).
