The old Heinz 57 commercial comes to mind - anticipation and satisfaction.  Nice.

Excellent John, is that the longbow you had at Marsh Hill this summer? I finally got a 58" longbow finished up just before our season started. I'm hoping for a similar picture. Rob

A great accomplishment, made even greater by finding the doe after what must have been a tough tracking job.

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Thanks everyone!!

I'm sure you all know what's said about finding a gut shot deer....Well, after running out of blood we started the grid search deal, and I took the route along the creek bottom.  Sure enough, there she laid in a patch of golden rod along the stream bank.

Rob - Yes, that is the same bow I had with me at Marsh Hill.  Good luck with your new build!

Now my goal is to fill my buck tag with a good double lung shot.  Got vacation time coming to me next week...  :thumbsup:
