Found it. Either 1988 or 1989. If I could only see which acid wash jeans I had on I'd know better!!

Mine was a little different...

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Good stuff, guys.  Keep em coming.

Didn't have the thought to snap a pic, but mine was the mighty racoon.  I had missed a couple of deer prior to the coon, but somehow managed to bowl that masked bandit over on a dead run.  Go figure.

Unfortunately there is nothing old and grainy about these pics.  First trad kill was a catfish:

 

Still surprised and blessed that this was my first trad deer - also my best deer with any weapon:

This 100# sow was not my 1st trad kill, but an interesting one, 1984 w/my 1st Silvertip TD. Had to shoot this 27 year old to get a P&Y'er the next evening.   This is the P&Y Bear I got the 2nd day

Do not have a pic, but it was the biggest deer I have ever killed, 24.5" inside spread very tall and heavy chocolate horned 8 point killed in Texas in 1967 with a 55# Ben Pearson Cougar recurve, bear cedar arrow and razor head. He was bedded in sage brush with a doe, doe was standing and I was at 25 yards, at half draw, I whistled and he stood up, came to full draw and nailed him, he went maybe 30 yards and was down. Lost the pictures and the rack in a fire in 1970. Been trying to kill another like him ever since, LOL.

First trad kill pic, shot in the heart on last day while she was trotting past. Pic taken by G Fred with my camera, great memories on that adventure. Bigriver flatbow, magnus heads & home made cedars.
