Thanks for all the kind words guys. I've only relived the hunt in my mind about a thousand times over the last few days.

Drew - the bird was a two year old, 10-inch beard, spurs just under an inch. I didn't weigh it but I would guess around 18 or 19 pounds. Because of the area I'm hunting it's probably considered an eastern/rio hybrid but he has very strong rio characteristics. The bow is a Black Widow SAIII, 53@28, shooting easton legacy shafts with snuffer broadheads.

Thanks again guys and good luck to all of you.

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.

I am gearing up for April 16 here in Missouri. Of course this is always a scheduled day in the woods for me.
Congrats on the beautiful bird. What did it weigh, what type of blind?
