Title: 1st LongBow Kill
Post by: canoeman on November 08, 2011, 11:47:00 AM

It may only be a trophy to me, but it sure does feel good to be able to connect with traditional archery equipment.  He never knew what happened and only went about 50 yards on a double lung shot. I was impressed with what a Zwickey will do (zipped right thru him).

That will be some fine eating, too. Are you going to get him mounted? I sure wish I had gotten my first one mounted. He wasn't big, either, but it was a significant accomplishment for me.

I'll probably just bury the skull, then dig it up next year and make something of that.  I've got plans to get a big one some year and then I'll spend the money to get it mounted.  Right now, I'm thankful to have the first one under my belt and look forward to many more.

That is an awesome trophy!!  People look at me crazy when they see what I shoot with to take animals.  Very few can do what we do much less take the time or effort to hunt this way.  Be proud of what you did!  May you have many more!!

Good deal and these fellas are right. He is indeed a trophy.
 On my first deer with a rack I cut his antlers off and made rattling horns with them. He was a smallish six point but I can look at those antlers hanging on a hook near my treestand and remember the shot as if it were yesterday. That was a long time ago.Go get another.RC
