I have some friends the manage and guide at Pheasant Bonanza here in east central Nebraska.  They asked the other day if it was possible to take a pheasant with a traditional bow.  I don't know if they were issuing a challenge or just teasing, but we sure had a good time either way!  I got three shot opportunities due to wind, proximity to adjacent properties, dog placement, etc.  The first flush scared me half to death, even though I was expecting it.  Needless to say I didn't take that shot.  The second was this rooster.  The third was a little chucker that I missed just under the left wing.  The best part of the day, though, was demonstrating to the fellas at the club just how versatile and effective the traditional bow still is.   :)

Congrats!  :thumbsup:
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

I got one out of the air a couple years ago. Had him mounted as that was a special hunt for sure.

Congrats on your rooster!
