I thought i would share with u guys how my season has been going. For the first time i have filled all my bow tags :campfire:
God Bless.
God is so GOOD!!!!!
Congrats my friend! You mention a youth tag, can I ask how old you are? I love seeing young folks on this web site and have mentored a few myself over the years who are now old enough to head out on their own! Great stuff and fine shooting! It's a great feeling to fill the freezer and help feed the family.

We love to read stories and see pictures. Tell us more, and post up some pictures if you have them.
There are several of us on here that will help you post the pictures (if you need some help).
Congratulations on a fine season! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
It would be great if you could post pics for me i have know clue how, i can E-mail them to you if that would work?
I just turned 16
The first doe i took in youth season was shot with a 45# static recurve self bow i made from Elm and a Bamboo arrow tipped with a Howard hill head on it.
The buck was taken with a 55# 21st century longbow with a BEMAN carbon shaft tipped with a STOS head, and the shaft had a weight tube so all in all the arrow was 533grains.
The next doe was taken also with the 21st century longbow and BEMAN arrow tipped with STOS head on it and this was a pass thru shot.
It's great to hear your doing so well and have been blessed this hunting season. Congratulations!
Congrats! Wish I would have been trad bowhunting at your age!
Send your pictures to cherylandrandy@bellsouth.net :)
Great job, and congratulations on a wonderful season.
Great job, young man! Would love to see pics of the elm bamboo recurve, too.
Quite an accomplishment for young and or "seasoned" bowhunter! :thumbsup:
You just turned 16 and took your first Trad deer with a Static Tip Self Bow you made yourself! Add to that you've taken three Deer this season. That is AWESOME! I have no doubt we'll be enjoying stories of your adventures in Trad on an ongoing basis. You are surely a gifted and dedicated Trad Bowhunter/Archer. Well Done young man! :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Wow - congrats!

Great job! Congratulations, you have a long full bow hunting life ahead of you, enjoy!

Thanks guys! I shot my very ever first deer when i was 11 years old shooting a bear Alaskan recurve/longbow it pulled 45# and i had a double lung shot on a 8 point buck.
But i havent just taken three deer ive also taken 4 squirrels and a Woodchuck........(i stopped shooting squirrels because i was running out of arrows)

And last but not least....
Ok ill tell u a little bit about them the first pic of the buck is were it died now Dad and i were hunting not far from one another that morning and we both heard it go down and theres just a little hill right were it went so i cant see but just over it is were i heard it go down so we start to track it and we get over the hill and we can see the hole valley and guess what no DEER im starting to get worried at this point because there wasnt much blood just a spot here and there but i new i had a good shot on this buck so i go up the valley and then on my way back down i just happened to look in a hole in a small creek and sure enough there he was.
Now the second pic (doe)is the 28 yard shot now im standing kinda in the open and theres about four deer that i can see and not haveing a good shot at any of them finally one starts to blow but they arent running so i just stand there as still as possible then all the sudden out walks this young doe in range coming right for a shooting window but then it turns around and so i take a couple of steps to get a clear shot and then it slowly turns were its turning away from me just a little bit and i say ok here we go and i pick my spot and all i here was the arrow hit and it runs of and stops and then it gos just over a hill and i think i heard it go down but wasnt sure so i wait a little while and go look for blood or the arrow and there the arrow was sticking out of the ground just were she was and very good blood on it so i go back to the house and call my Dad and tell him that ill wait for him to get home (since he was on his way anyway) so we go to were the arrow was and start tracking and there she was just over the hill i will say i did walk past it and my sis saw it all rolled in grass, then the fun began.
Good job, keep up the good work.
Now the last pics are of the youth season i actually had my sisters boy friend with me and on are way in to the stand i shot a squirrel just to get warmed up for the deer and so we get to the stand and time passes then i look at my phone to see what the time was and i see its getting later so i told him anytime the i look over my shoulder and i see legs of a deer didnt no what it was but i told him theres some coming and so i stand up and get ready and it turns out its a nice doe and its coming right for a shooting window and so just when it gets clear i said to myself thank you Lord for giving me this chance and so the its coming a little bit at me so the lungs are covered by the shoulders so i look for the liver and pick my spot and WHAM i nailed it right were i wanted and Then my mom and Dad and sis and her boy friend and my dads friend are all there with me to help track and we find it about 175 yards away or so.
Congratulations! You are blessed young man and I sure hope you know it.
I squandered my youth away with stuff that didn't do much for developing me as a man or person.
Alas, we don't get "do-overs" make the best of each and every day, that's what I try to do now.
God bless,Mudd
