Great guy to hunt you down like that. My hat is off to him. Great looking bow as well. Keep your eyes open for that 200 class 12 pointer, sounds like the odds are pretty good he is heading your way.

That is an awesome story. Good luck with her the rest of the way. Methinks that some critters are going to fall to that mojo-laden bow    :campfire:

That is the  coolest  story I've heard in a loooong time. Good for you Danny! You left out the craziest part though... all this happened in New Jersey! Incredible. I lost a small toolbox off the back of my truck on a back road a few months ago, re-traced the 1 mile route within 10 minutes and it was gone.

Doc and Rob are two of the best! and Matt is truly an honerable man. Still shakin' my head... awesome!   :thumbsup:

Just because a man shoots a wheel bow doesn't make him a bad man as this story demonstrates so well.  Kudo's to you Matt!    :clapper:
