Title: Halloween whitetail with a fifty year old recurve...
Post by: John3 on November 02, 2019, 12:05:49 AM: My Dad was Earl Hoyt’s general manager at Hoyt Archery in St. Louis when I was young. Dad brought me home a 15# little Hoyt recurve sometime in the early 1970’s. This started a bowhunting lifestyle. This year is my 33rd bow season none of them would have happened without him. After years of looking I finally found a like new condition 52# Hoyt Pro Medalist Hunter probably made during my Dad’s time at Hoyt. This season my goal was to kill a whitetail with this PMH just to honor my Dad that started it all for me. The week of Halloween has always been good to me. Apologize about the dark early morning pics.

Post by: John3 on November 02, 2019, 11:58:12 PM: Just a fun Halloween morning... Then a busy afternoon getting her hung in the “all fridge” deer cooler. My helper will get busy with the grinder next week... I grew up around deer butchering and so will my kids. Family time making memories is simply priceless!
