Title: 2012 was a pretty good year....UPDATED on pg 2
Post by: Ryan Rothhaar on December 20, 2012, 09:41:00 PM

Had a good year with my Jack Howard Gamemaster Jets in 2012.

February in Tejas....

Big and stinky (the boar, that is)...

Smaller, pretty as a pig, and better eating dry sow.....

October 11 here in Indiana...he tempted me a bit too much.  7 yard shot quartering on, 70 yard recovery, 5 minute track for Oskar.

Shot this doe around October 20 here in Indiana, 4 yards quartering away.  Weird exit down front leg - arrow threaded right down the leg.  She went about 90 yards, not much blood on the ground due to the weird exit.  Another 5 minute track for my wife Katia and Oskar (she handles the dog, I just follow behind and try to stay out of the way).

Exit.....

November 14 in Iowa on Dad's place.  Shot him at 12 feet - I'm DEADLY at 12 feet!     ;)    .  He's a 5 1/2 yr old, and I'm tickled with him.

Got a doe tag left for Iowa, some time off for the late season, and a score to settle with a mule-faced big yellow doe that busted me one too many times this fall...so it ain't over yet!

Dec 24th - not the big yellow one, but her compatriot.  There was the big yellow one, this medium darker one, and a button buck hanging together in the group.  I shot this one because I think the buck fawn belongs to the big yellow one.  Northern Mist Shelton, 55lbs, with a 620 grain arrow, big Snuffer.  She went 150 yards on the lung/liver hit.  First longbow kill for me.

See ya in 2013!
