Title: First trad kill
Post by: kanmatt on September 09, 2010, 09:29:00 PM
Never posted a pic on here so we'll see how this goes.  Made my first trad kill in Canada last week on a nice black bear.  Felt great to get that first one under my belt after a miss on a deer last year.  I'm sure you can all imagine my excitement!  Got him with my brand new Tall Tines recurve too.  Awesome week!!

A pick of me and my brother with his bear he took the first night of the trip with his Zipper.
