Title: First proper trad kill
Post by: bowhunterportugal on April 23, 2013, 02:52:00 PM

Hi gang.

Long time no see!
On this European crisis I manage to get a job so I've been busy... Thank God!!!

But a couple days ago my inner hunter just had to come out so I went once again to try a wildboar with my beloved BW.

Saw this fox just wondering around establishing it domain and started calling her.

At about 20 yards she stopped to scratch her ear and I made the shot...

What a thrill...
No I can definitely say I'm hooked to trade gear for life.

After 1 year practice and many hours on a blind bale I manage to do all the shot sequence right and just aim...

I must thank to moebow and all others that have given me pointers so I could get to this point.

The flight of this arrow is forever in my memory!

Nice shot. I've been hunting for years for a red fox and have never had a shot with a bow along.

I saw the mount I would like to have done at a German foresters house. The fox was hanging from a leather thong by the rear legs as if freshly taken and, while it doesn't sound like a good mount, it really looked great.

Congratulations!
