First trad kill
« on: October 10, 2010, 08:12:00 PM »
It finally happened for me this morning. Sat in stand about 45 minutes and hear a bunch of deer on the run coming my way. Something must have spooked them cause they were really moving. 3 does run right in front of me and stop at about 30 yards. 2 more does show up about 3 minutes later. I just kept thinking about how bad my odds are getting with all those eyes and noses down there to see or scent me. 1 doe eventually worked her way into 20 yards but was behind brush. My heart started beating out of my chest because I new i was so close to getting my first trad shot on a deer. She eventually worked her way into 15 yards and presented me a perfect broadside shot. I come to full draw but when i release i immediately see the arrow going high and just when i thought it was going to be a clean miss, I connect with a spine shot dropping her. I really need to work on the nerves a little bit for future hunts, but i have never felt more proud than i do today with my first trad kill.

I shot my first one high as well, so I thought. I found it the next day double lung, I think it’s like a quarterback in the NFL our Brett Favrve, he gets so jacked up his first throw of the game is always high.
You will be ready for the next deer and after your first with Trad gear there will be a next.
Congratulations.  :dunno:
