What was your first traditional bow harvest?
« on: February 03, 2010, 11:42:00 PM »
Hello, I'm new to Tradgang and I am curious to hear about and see some pictures of other peoples first traditional bow harvest. Mine was a carp taken in June of 2009 in Manitoba with my 42 lb Ben Pearson Hunter 709. What a great day of bow fishing that was, I will definitely go again this year. Hope the picture works.

About a 3' copperhead. I didn't harvest however, just killed him instead.

my first trad kill was a carp. I'm hoping to take a deer with my recurve next season.

I shot 2 chipmunks can't find the pics right now but have a eye witness  and if you think they are easy to hit give it a try you have never seen anything jump a string like them.  Widow

My first animal with my Mikuta recurve was a black bear here in upstate NY. Sorry but no pictures. It was such a thrill.

Summertime in "68", I was 10 yrs old. Hunting the railroad tracks near home. Jumped a cottontail & hit it on the run. Lucky you say?!! You're right, cause I missed by a mile....the arrow skipped off the rail and hit the bunny right in the head!

Squirrel in the back yard last September. Sorry, I was too busy doing the Snoopy dance to think about a camera.
