Title: Success!
Post by: afalmlen on December 04, 2008, 03:02:00 PM
Very thankful for a bountiful harvest today. Was headed back to the house from hunting today and saw a bunch of does crossing the river. They kept zig zaging closer and closer to me, but wouldn't cross, then I realized they didn't want to cross were it was icy (our channel froze over a bit today).So I took off my garbage bags, (poor mans waders) and crawled to where I could see the water was open, got up on one knee and not 30 seconds later the first one finally gets on the bank to were I was and gives me a standing broadside @ 17-18 yards. Sometimes you work so hard, then BAM God puts on in your lap.

PS. Bow in pic is up for sale tomorrow.It's got pretty good carma. I have to fund my new Beeler longbow.

A Trophy only a Tradional shooter can appreciate. Great shot! How far did she go and it looks like a two blade.  Ken

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Ken, I shoot magnus two blades, really fly great. She went about 80 yards and piled up. It's kind of funny, I don't know if anyone else dose this, but I always sing 4 songs in my head from start to finish after a good shot. It keeps me from staring at the time and getting on the trail too early.
 Also, when she came in I had a gray wool watchcap on, no facemask and no gloves, knealing next to a tree. Was pretty cool.
