Thunderchild makes meat.

I was fortunate enough to get a beautiful 9 point monday evening with my 54 pound Thunderchild. I was stalking in a Ghillie suit and seen him about 70 yards away moving my way in a swamp bottom. He would work his way in and out of sight and I took a few steps and kneeled in the edge of some cover while he was out of sight. He worked his way to about 15 yards from where I was kneeling when I released the arrow. He was my best buck ever with traditional gear and it was without a doubt the single most exciting hunt I've ever had. It did not seem natural to be that close to a deer without being in a blind or high in a tree. My accuracy has improved greatly over the past year, and much of the reason is the knolledge gained from this site and it's generous members. I tried to post a pic, however, I don't know if it worked.

Super buck!

Those Thunderchild's do make meat.

You might say that are the electric version vs. the old hand crank.

Congrats!!
