First shot at a critter with my homemade "Hill" style bow
« on: September 16, 2013, 11:34:00 AM »
7:22 am. I actually let a doe with a spotted fawn go by in hopes of a buck but this one came in by herself. My restraint only holds for so long. 1st deer of the year 2013. 12 yards with a homemade Hill style longbow and Ace standard head.
  I hit a tad forward but got both lungs and a lot of blood for about 100 yards and done. Good start. I gotta face it...I ain`t a big buck hunter.  
Big Satilla Creek swamp

 

 

 

my newest favorite bow and always favorite quiver..

 

Lucky me..Thank You Lord.RC

Way to go RC! I know what you mean about not being a "big buck hunter". Given the choice to shoot 2 or 3 does with my bow, or 1 buck, most of the time I would take the does! I just like to hunt and shoot critters with my longbow!

Congrats on the doe!
