I was shooting the new 3 piece takedown with brown glass front and back, with a brown action wood handle, Osage accents, and overlays. I guess I answered the question as if the three piece bow I build is quiet. I hate buck fever but it had me pretty bad that night. I dropped him off at the taxidermy shop and he said 3 to 4 months. I can't wait to get him on the wall.

Man Chad what a buck. Very nice job. Great to hear such determination on the recovery. Nice to know I'm not the only guy with buck fever occasionally. Course who can blame you on that deer.  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Congratulations on a beautiful buck!  I can see how a buck of those proportions could give a person a case of "buck fever"!

What a pig!! Congrats on a nice buck Chad! I still have yet to give credit where credit is due to Chad. I had bought one of his life enders this summer and have rarely been seen without it since. I love the thing!!
