I was lucky enough to harvest my first trad buck this morning. I had this guy come cruising along and stopped at about 35 yards. He then proceeded to trot by me at about 5 yards under my stand. I bleated at him several ties trying to stop him and finally had to yell HEY! He stopped at about 15yards and I released the arrow. Just before impact my arrow hit a limb and deflected into the top of his neck. I was sick to my stomach watching him run off with an arrow sticking out of his neck. I waited about a hour got down out of my stand and called my buddy to help me track him. I found blood at the impact site and went to the last place I saw him and had a lot of blood. 300 yards later I found by buck. I am dang lucky to have recovered this buck. I used a 45lb Omega Original Longbow, a 400 spine ICS bowhunter carbon arrow with a 100 grain brass insert and a VPA 175 grain penetrator broad head. Thanks for all who have helped me on this website, there are a lot of helpful people on here and I appreciate al the advice and feedback. I wish I could have made the perfect lung or heart shot, but sometimes it is better to lucky than good. Thanks for looking.  [/url] [/IMG]

Congrats and what a buck for a first trad kill. I also agree that I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Congrats again!!

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Very nice!  Congrats.
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
