Joe,
Once again, congratulations!  Thanks for the recounting, it was an excellent read.

As always; You done good....really good!
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Wow, what a great read Joe.  Thanks for the ride on such a unique hunt.  I can only imagine the rush of feelings you got after getting in so close to that cow and making it count.  Awesome.

Congratulations.  :clapper:

Congrats on yer buff.Enjoyed the pics and the story.There is 1 thing that i couldnt help but notice and it confuses me a bit.You state many times through the story,that it was a cow tag and that it was a cow that was taken.Yet,the title of the thread states,TATONKA.Contrary to popular belief,due to Dances with wolfs,the word Tatanka is not translated as Buffalo or Cow.It translates as BULL.Pte would work though.
Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

Traxx - Huh, I didn't know that.  Always thought it was a generic term, but now I know better.  Since Shaun started the thread for me, I guess I'll just blame him  :biglaugh:  

Technically speaking of course, it really wasn't a buffalo either.  The american version of the beast is more correctly called a bison.  

Pte doesn't have quite the same ring to it, but it works for me.  No matter what you call it, she will remain my trophy of a lifetime!
