Title: first kill will trad gear
Post by: Scott Beitzel on September 27, 2010, 10:45:00 PM
after building my long bow last winter and shooting all summer i couldn't wait to hit the woods when bow season opened up here in western md but work and weather had differant stories for me but after 2 weeks and the threat of rain i got into the stand for the second time .
the first showed me no deer  just chipmunks and squirrels but this time was differant right at dusk they came like theifs in the night i let the first one pass and it happened just like a dream on the second one the rise of my bow hand the draw and the release seemed all as one and a good shot placement not right where i anted it but close enough she only run 30 yards .
i had to tell someone and the wife just didn't seem as excited as i was . man o man is this stuff addictive i can't wait till i get back in them woods . hunting with a compound has never been this fun. my camera would snap any pics or i would have had them on here .

thanks for reading . and i'm hooked for life im sure . thanks for the great site full of information ,
Scott

Congratulations Scott,and with a bow you made yourself.You are hooked for sure.

I was born and raised in Allegany county and killed my first "traditional" deer there.Beautiful country in the Fall.Get that camera working.You are going to want to save some of these memories.I would love to see some pictures from there myself.
