Title: First Traditional Deer Kill
Post by: shedhunta on November 15, 2012, 08:51:00 PM
Took a few squirells in the past but committed to the longbow this year. Sold the compound and I will never go back.  Had my first child on Sept 29th so hunting time this year is very limited.  I posted a pic of my son's room.  I am starting him out the right way!!  I took this buck in mid october.  It was my first hunt since my son was born and I decided to take the first deer that presented a shot.  I have killed 100+ deer with the compound.  None of them compared to this.  I want to thank everyone on here who answered my questions and for the load of information I aquired through searches.  I used a Saxon American longbow and a VPA 3 blade head.  Since then I have been fortunate to harvest a doe in my limited time out.  I love traditional archery.  Just wish I started sooner!!

Congrats on your first trad deer!    :clapper:  
One trad deer is better than a hundred compound kills....  I agree!!    :archer2:

Congrats to the NEW father, but it sounds like you have ALWAYS been a "traditional" hunter, you have just been using the wrong kind of bow!
