Title: First Whitetail For Me
Post by: Alexander Traditional on January 13, 2014, 01:08:00 PM
It's been a good hunting season for me. I got my first animal with a longbow a couple of weeks ago,which was a hog. I got my first whitetail now. I forgot my camera at home so I had to field dress it,and then took it over to my buddies house to take pictures and finish skinning it.

I shot it at twenty yards and hit it right behind the shoulder. She went down in thirty yards.

Congrats!

Btw, what kind of bow is that you are using?

Thanks everybody! I'm super excited after a lot of misses,but it just made me more determined.

Bisch it's a Big Jim's Buffalo bow. I got it back in the spring. I'm still looking forward to taking you up on getting together and shooting some to.

Hey thanks Stumpkiller. It's a Big Jim's. Very good quality. I use it while I practice and have gotten quite used to it.

Thanks Jaceson. It's a Filson small field bag. I like all of Filsons stuff it's just they are getting a little out of my price range these days.

My first traditional harvest was a doe like yours. The previous evening I overshot a nice buck, I didn't pick a spot, but the excitement of it all coming together on that doe was truly surreal.  I'm so grateful that I was challenged to hunt traditional; the challenge was really a gift.  Congratulations!
