Title: Tim Cosgrove @ Kustom King killed an Iowa beauty
Post by: Ray Lyon on November 16, 2011, 09:06:00 AM
I gotta give some props to my buddy Tim. He killed a 164 gross class buck with his 48# Super Shrew Classic Hunter and his Kustom King trailmaker broadhead.  I've hunted with Tim for 20 years now and he's a first rate guy and funny to be around.  

Tim doesn't get on here much because he's always getting out orders. The ole cliche "it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy" is so appropriate in this case. If you talk to Tim, don't forget to congratulate him.

I'll be happy to email someone pics if they'll post them for me please???

KustomKing is top notch in my book!

Post by: Ray Lyon on November 16, 2011, 01:28:00 PM
Steve,

Yes, I edited the title of the thread. Tim was hunting in Iowa for that bruiser.  Often times he heads right from Shrewhaven to Iowa to hunt when he gets a tag.  This year he had a little break in between hunts, but he didn't loose his edge in the woods!  

Of course Ron LaClair's going to say he taught Tim everything he knows about shooting (but I'm beginning to think you need a Shrew Classic Hunter to get the big buck or bull based on some threads I've seen this fall-hmmm).    :rolleyes:

Terry, I believe Tim said it was just under 200 dressed when I chatted with him. They did the live wieght tape measure thing and came up with around 245.  Tim's e-mail to the Shrewcrew started out with "it took me 49 years of bow hunting, but I finally got the big one..."

Tim called me when he was on his way home to tell me about it. I was getting ready to leave for a few days of hunting myself and I just got back. Boy that is a real dandy, congratulations good Buddy.

He sure is going to look good hanging on the wall up at Shrew Haven....don't you think?...   :rolleyes: ...   ;)

Ron,

I talked to Gabby today and she said that he was "geting his hair done" (Tim, not the deer) and then picking up the head to take to the taxidermist. She said that now he's going to want to stick another head in their house.  So there, Tim's wife says it can go in Shrewhaven Lodge.

Since when do guys get their "hair done"?

 :rolleyes:
