This is one of my favorites, strictly because of the game killed!

I usually don't like buck in truck pictures, but this one makes the cut.  Fine fellows in this picture that I am pleased to call friends.  Jack Guard took this pic for me.  Another fine fellow.

I shot this coyote right after the fawns left the coyote was hunting, they were drinking from their mother and spooked. The coyote was shot in the steps where the deer were standing. The coyote followed them for a hundred plus yard and I got to watch the whole show, it just happens to be the coyote was not the only predator in the woods that day.

My first Trad buck, the members here noticed the double white patch and pointed that out and how rare that is. I never looked back even though it has been really hard at times.

The three above are some of my favorites as far as my kills go. I don't know for sure why. I guess 'cause they take up most of the frame and I like the pose.

Here is the buck I shot in 2011. Not sure what makes the picture one of my favorites could be that I shot him on my land,he died in my creek just as you see him, I never touched him before the picture just set my bow there. He was the first buck I ever heard snort wheeze, first buck with my new to me Osage Morrison, my dad was hunting with me, the water has some kind of symbolism . I'm not sure but I just like it.

Wow.  What a great collection of photos!  For me they all speak to what trad-archery is all about.

Here is mine and as it happens its only 2 days old.  I know a bunch of you will have just viewed this on my other post but I figured it fit in on this thread.

I shot my first (longbow) buck and my oldest boy came out and helped me drag it up the draw and shared in the success.  Felt really great!

He's not the biggest buck but he was special for me. It was Oct.23/10. I got into my stand (730am)at the edge of a swamp and hardwoods. I grunted and ten minutes later this buck swaggered out of the swamp ready to kick some butt. 15yd shot a little high but in a good way. Severed the aortic artery and he was down in 30 seconds. I was suppose to be in Toronto at a work conference but when I saw it was scheduled for late October I thought I had better places to be!!! O was right!! Super Shrew and an Ace broadhead on a 2216 shaft did the trick!!

This photo is special for me. This is my first pronghorn! The hunt was at the Spearhead Ranch in Wyoming. Can't say enough good things about Moore family, the staff and the ranch. Anyway I was having bouts of target panic and buck fever on the second day of the hunt. Shot over three fine bucks! I was so frustrated that I got out of the stand early and practiced shooting to calm myself down. The third day after watching this wary loner buck all morning he committed into coming into the water hole after a group of does and fawns had watered. Once again things didn't go smoothly as I hit him too far back. He ran quite a ways and I thought I had lost him but the expertise of my guide, Keith Moore, came through and we recovered him the next day. What a relief!! Once again it was the Super Shrew and Ace broadhead that did the damage. Sept.8/10. 2010 was a good year for me!!!
