Title: Michigan Success
Post by: T Folts on November 02, 2012, 09:27:00 PM
I've been blessed this year with two bucks in the bow season, my quest started with building a bow for my Colorado ELK hunt but wasnt able to connect.
I shot the first buck OCT 21st and had trail pics of a ten point and one close encounter at the beginning of the season. Tonite I was able to connect with a double lung shot and he went 44 paces.
My 7 point

My 10 point

Bow works GOOD!  I cannot imagine the pride in taking an animal with a bow you have made yourself.  Congratulations!

I was emailing a bit with Terry yesterday, and his last comment in the afternoon was

"gotta get in the woods, there a 10 point I'm after"

I said "Go Gettem"

A few hours later, I had a message that simply said :

"Gottem"

How AWESOME! And to do it with a bow you made yourself! Absolutely outstanding Terry!!

Michigan dear hunting, how I miss it. I've lived in Alaska the last 16 yrs. and as I get older I'd much rather haul a dear than a Moose. Those bucks look great. Congratulations!
