First trad kill!
« on: October 03, 2011, 08:59:00 PM »
I've been shooting my HH Wesley Special since July and have been excited about hunting with less technology.  I let a friend borrow my "other bow" to make sure I wasn't tempted to go back.  I've never had more fun shooting a bow.  Well on my second hunt I had a buck come out that I would normally pass but with my longbow in hand I decided to try and take it.  After a less than great hit and a night to let him sit, I found my first trade kill today.  My smallest buck in ten years but my biggest trophy.

I'll try to post a pic but wanted to thank everybody for the great information this site offers.

Don't worry about size, any deer with a stick and string is a accomplishment, congrats.
