congrats

Well done!

Congrats!

       

Congratulations, and welcome to the "traditional way"! Success just feels sweeter.  John Schultz told me in his shop about 40 years ago, "A doe with the bow is better than a buck with a bullet". You did it the hard way, and all bucks are trophies in my opinion.

....I'll go one more, and say any deer is a trophy with trad equipment.  A doe is just as hard to get killed as any buck. That makes all deer by trad bow a trophy in my book. Congrats on a great first!

Congrats on your first of many!

Congratulations!  Even though you didn't need to, it was right to give the buck some time.  Better safe than sorry.

Outstanding adventure!

Well done

Congrats!

Regarding the statement that a doe is as hard to get as a buck...You got that right. The buck can do some dome stuff during the rut.

I got a buck this year and he was DUMB. I had a shot at a big buck who was even dumber. I just didn't shoot very well and missed.

Those does seem to be a lot smarter. A doe is what I need now and I can't seem to get the drop on one. LOL

Here pic's of Eric's Buck, nice shot to!

Great deer and shot Brother

great job

Thanks everyone! I got my first deer with traditional gear last year and my first buck this year. I am definitely hooked on hunting with traditional gear.

It is something you will never forget. I can remember my first traditional bow kill like it was this morning.

Congrats
