Thank you fellas...still feeling very "satisfied" about yesterday. In fact I'm not even hunting this morning, choosing to instead catch up on some things around the house I need to do.  

For those that know me, with my limited hunting time, me giving up a morning hunt doesn't happen too often...

A little about the arrow I shot the buck with....it was once again "arrow #4"...#3 for #4 The same arrow I shot a doe with on Halloween, then another doe on the 13th...now this buck....

•  

Check out those frosty leaves, it was about 20 degrees yesterday morning...

It is a CX 60-75 with the graphix stripped off, has a "Onestringer" wrap, a regular insert, and 3 five inch feathers burned to a custom shape. It's tipped with a big 160 Snuffer that's mounted on a 125 gr. steel adapter.All total it weighs right about 630 grs....if I remember right...

It has been thru all three deer, first doe it barely hung up by the fletch but fell to the ground after 5yds. or so. The second doe, and this buck required me to pull it out of the ground to get it back in my quiver.

First two does both only went about 30yds, and this buck made it a little further....maybe 50yds.

It has been responsible for putting more blood on the ground than any arrow I've ever used. I've never had an arrow used more than twice...

This arrow has some serious "mojo"...

It's cleaned up, sharpened up, and ready to go, but I'm not sure I'll get a chance to use it again.

 I have Miss Faith scheduled to arrive soon for the month of Dec., and I'll be taking my other lighter KS to Texas at the end of Dec. to hunt Solana again with a bunch of TGer's over New Years.

So maybe it's time for retirement....

Great Story Curt!
My opinion....don't retire the arrow. I have one that's been through two turkeys and one deer. It's in the quiver ready to go.

Way to go Curt! You're right, they don't always have to be big to be special. Very cool story and I like the way you get the family involved. I do the same thing when I or one of my kids harvest a deer close to home. I go home and get everyone and bring them out to the woods and tell them the story and then go to the deer and take pictures before we field dress the animal. It always makes for good memories that way.

Congrats!

I kinda read between the lines Curt... You ARE a human being and loved by family and friends... The "trophy" here is Gods grace and a bunch of venison cutlets. Wonderful Day Afield! You found the words just fine.

Awesome Curt, your teaching your son well and to have three generations together is just the icing on the cake. Accidents can have a strong influence on a person and can forever change your life. Congratulations to you and your family.

Congratulations!!
