Title: Finally!!!!
Post by: NIGEL01 on October 03, 2011, 04:16:00 PM

For three years I've been trying to harvest a deer with traditional equipment.  Boy, what a feeling when it finally comes together with two good shots 12 hours apart!  Friday Sept. 30th shot the doe right at the end of legal shooting light.  The buck was shot the next morning.  I used a Selway 'lil' Mag I traded with someone.  I used Goldtip arrows my Dad got me from Big Jim, and 125gr. Magnus Stingers from Hidden "E".  I have to give a special thanks to my wife, my brother and my Dad for putting up with me the last couple of bow seasons.(was getting a bit frustrated) (http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h474/nigelkylatrista/hunt2011001-1.jpg)
