Thanks folks. I enjoyed sharing the story with you. Its amazing how many little things occur during a bowhunting encounter.
You might notice I have two different arrows in the pictures? The MFX with blue and orange feathers is tipped with a single-bevel, 2-blade Helix (125 grain + 100 grain insert). That is my primary arrow and what all my "modern" recurve deer have been taken with.
The MFX with the green barred fletching is a Left Helical arrow and the RHT-bladed Helix heads aren't suited for it. So, I put a 175 grain VPA (3-blade) on that arrow. Had I known this buck would have been in the close shooting window I would have had the VPA in place, just to try that one.
I bought the bow, the quiver, and broadheads from Trad Gang sponsors. I also learned how to tie those neat Whisker balls on the string from the trad ganger's in Hawaii (their video is great!).
Yes, Kirk I like the bow very much!
I've included a picture showing how I sometimes have a video camera set up. I had the camera set up during this hunt but on the wrong side of the tree to get the action.
