Thanks to all. :p

Post by: Mr.Magoo on September 21, 2009, 11:30:00 AM: Nice shot. You have to start pacing yourself ... Unfortunately, the only deer I'm seeing are while I'm driving to the game lands.

Post by: amar911 on September 21, 2009, 01:17:00 PM: The size of the deer makes little difference in the enjoyment of the hunt -- at least that is the case in my experience. We all long for a buck with a huge rack, but that is not the most satisfying part of being out in the woods doing what comes naturally to the predators we are. Nice job Jeff. The look on your face says it all. Enjoy the rest of your season after an incredible start! :thumbsup:

Are we seeing the entry hole in the picture? Looks like you made a really great shot! Congratulations she’s a fine doe.
Title: Re: More success! 2nd Traditional Harvest.
Post by: NoCams on September 21, 2009, 02:48:00 PM: Another great shot Jeff ! Must be the mojo on them arrows ??? Hopefully, I can put your 150's thru some ribs on Sat. Nice pic and nice looking Silvertip too.

nocams :thumbsup:
Title: Re: More success! 2nd Traditional Harvest.
Post by: GMMAT on September 21, 2009, 03:11:00 PM: The shot is as it appears....."kinda". She was qtring away....and I hit her a bit forward of my intended POI. Exit wound was in her brisket. Regardless, she only went 30yds.

Dakota?? Tab? I used one...but it's one I got from Mr. Bateman.

ABout the photo....lol...I have one of those little 6" tripods....and I took it myself. FIRST and ONLY photo!

Post by: Guru on September 21, 2009, 07:46:00 PM: Congrats Jeff.....but from your explanation of the shot my eyes must be deceiving me....it appears there's two holes on the same side?

Nice start to the season!

Post by: Don Batten on September 21, 2009, 08:14:00 PM: I double proud of you Jeff. Nice shooting, but better than that, you know how to get in the right spot to get a shot. The greatest archers in the world aint gonna kill no deer if they don't know how to hunt them. Way to go. DB
Title: Re: More success! 2nd Traditional Harvest.
Post by: GMMAT on September 21, 2009, 08:14:00 PM: Anything you see there, Guru....was done on the drag out or the load into the ATV.

Really?

Thanks, DB. I worked hard on my setups this year, because I knew they'd have to be a little better than my compound setups. So far...so good. I had a buddy kill one opening day,here, also.

zCongrats on your finish at the IBO Worlds, Don. You should be proud. Hell I am FOR you! :D

Post by: John Dill on September 21, 2009, 10:13:00 PM: Great job Jeff!!! Slings on its way!!!
Title: Re: More success! 2nd Traditional Harvest.
Post by: GMMAT on September 21, 2009, 10:16:00 PM: Thanks guys.

Thanks, John. It'll be right on time! I'm gonna try to stick a couple more, this year. One more doe (or someone else here taking one or two)....and I'm in buck mode.

I've got a family I donate 2/yr to.

Looking forward to that Kanati sling in a big way!

Dakota....Man I'm sorry! Yeah...I probably used the tab you sent me, on both these does. Glad everything worked out.

Jeff

I can assure you that's a yearling doe.

But just for ****s and giggles....what difference does it make?
