Thanks for all the kind words.

  Went out after supper and finished processing the birds.  As I suspected, the arrow on the first bird was about 1.5" low (breast is not best) and came out the offside leg.  Right through the drumstick.

Second bird was right through the ribs as it should be placed.

Congrats!! One bird is a great hunt, two is incredible!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Chad,
Congratulations...WOW!
Too bad we couldn't get it done for you in FL.
But you made up for it with this nice double.
And Cade?? I suppose the poor lad is in school while Dad is hunting.
I would love to tag along on one of those SD hunts sometime.
Maybe a WI or FL trade-a-hunt?
Hey Sean...I found one of your arrows with the SG head on it. Horse stepped on it and ruined your nice spliced feathers.
I'll save it for ya.
