How many looking for first trad kill
« on: September 21, 2007, 04:32:00 PM »
How many of you guys are looking for your first kill(big game) with trad gear? I just switched from wheels to sticks in February and with 3 weeks until opening day here in Alabama, I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl. Just wondered how many others are doing the same.

I'm like you. I got rid of the bow with "training wheels" back in the winter and now I'm anxious for Oct.6 here in VA. It's gonna be fun again!

Looking for my first big game trad kill this season also. I've been at it for a long time. Don't do the tree stand thing. It's stalking and still hunting for me. Had alot of "close ones". Guess that keeps me at it!

That would include me as well. I have been trying for about 5 years now as well and the last couple years I have had a few misses, so hopefully this year I can connect.

This will be my second year huntin' with recurve. Passed on fork horn, spike, and wet doe with 2 fawns last year. I don't think I'll be that picky this year.

To me it's like I've started a whole new chapter in my hunting life(not to be too cheesy). I have always loved bowhunting but this season the anticipation is like never before.

Keep the faith, all.  It will happen.  I'm lucky to live in a fairly target rich environment here in Georgia...but the deer are pretty small and jumpy, so challenging.  It's a great feeling and everything is a trophy.  Look forward to hearing (and seeing) great stories from each of you.  When you focus on that spot, and almost without thinking the fletch flashes through the ribs - it is almost magical.  Good luck all.  Got my first 2 years ago with recurve.  Going for first with my homemade longbow this year.
