Two BC Moose - Total shot distance under 8 yards
« on: October 06, 2009, 11:00:00 AM »
Just got home from a great hunt in BC. Dean Vanderhorst made a perfect shot on his bull at 5 yards.

 
Dean used a Tomahawk longbow,Traditional Only carbons and a Woodsman head.

I got my chance on day nine of our 10 day hunt. I had to make a difficult shot at 8 feet to collect this bull.

Amazing job.  Congrats to you both!!

Maybe you can give Dean a few lessons on stalking so he can get close like you, and not have to take such "long, risky" shots!  :thumbsup:  What it thrill it must be to be SO close (both of you!) to such a massive wild animal.

I end where I began... AMAZING JOB!
