It was Mason,a good friend of mine who decided it was going to be with his longbow this year or not at all.
Mason expressed his desire to try and hunt with a longbow a few years back and that he was looking for one to purchase. I happened to have a Jim Johnson Legend longbow that I was not shooting at the time so we made a deal.
He shot it off and on over the years and finally this year he said that it was going to be the longbow or nothing.
So back to the phone call...He says(in a very hushed tone) Craig,I just got my first Traditional kill. I said GREAT,what did you get?
He quietly said it was a 6 or 7 pt that he had just shot it and had heard it crash. Way to go buddy! I asked if he needed any help,he said he thought he would be ok. I told him to call if he needed any help and congratulated him again.
Well,that didn't last to long and I was in my jeep and heading his way whether he needed any help or not. What are friends for,and this was his first "longbow kill".
I met him inside the woods>>>>>>>>>>
