1st Trad Whitetail!
« on: September 23, 2012, 12:02:00 AM »
Hey all,
I finially killed my first whitetail with my Mojostik. Ive never killed a deer on our archery opener for the season. Well its about time...and with my recurve at that! I hunted this morning and saw several does but nothing that was close enough...or what I was comfortable with anyway. I went to another farm this afternoon and saw absolutely nothing..except for what seemed like 1000 squirrels. I was getting ready to head home right before dark and heard something slipping up the trail in front of me. This little buck presented himself at 15 yards and i got a double lung and a complete passthrough with my zwickey eskimo and cedar arrow. I thought I had missed as he never ran. He just stepped forward about 10 steps and stood there until he fell over. WOW I am as exited as if i had shot a monster. Ive hunted with a wheel bow for over 20 years BUT nothing compares to this.  My sons have been hounding me because we never shoot any small bucks...usually only does...or mature bucks...but I am absolutely tickled over this one. I figured the good Lord put this one there just for me. Sorry for the fuzzy pic...my cell phone was all we had. Go figure!   :banghead:

Congrats.

I used to be like your sons and gave a lot of grief to my family for taking "small" bucks.  I regret being a jerk. I only wish your buck will walk in front of me October 1st.

Great shot and deer.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Congratulations!  That's one of the cool things about switching to trad gear - you get to do a "first" again, and there is nothing like it!  
Great shot as well  :thumbsup:
