Well folks, this is my deer of a lifetime! Plain and simple. Most have been here, some are about to be, I made the switch and I worked at it for an entire off season to get the confidence to take to the woods with my Longbow! Honestly, I couldn't of done it with out the help of the tradgangers! I just wanted to share this with you good folks! I picked him up tonight after work and snapped a few pics. Most here know the Story line, I want to say thanks to all on here for the help and inspiration!! This one is with me forever!

Congrats Joseph! That definitely is something to remember. I am still working on mine.      

Very nice man..... Great photo's

YUP!  The real deal. . .a REAL trophy!  Congrats  

That is a great trophy!!!  It is not about the size of the animal, rack, or book.  It is about the journey and the self satifaction of doing it the "Hard way".  Great Job and be proud, you worked hard to get it and am sure it taste great.

I'll never forget my first longbow buck. A nice little three pointer... But it was an awsome experience and I haven't looked back since.
Looking to take my First fall Turkey this year with a nice little recurve I got.
Nothing Better than than just a stick and string and doing it the hard way. sure is gratifying.
Congrats! Kris

Congratulations!!!!!  Any deer harveted with traditional equipment is a TROPHY in my book.

Joseph,  it doesn't get much better than that.  To coin a TV phrase; "That's what I'm talking about"!!  Great job.............

Congrats!!!!      

Congratulations, the t'dermist did a fine job too. That's true trophy; no big game animal is a pushover with trad gear.

Looks like a perfect shot too.  Congrats!

Im new to trad archery so im looking forward to getting my first deer this fall. I wish i would have took this up a long time ago. Congrads on your first deer and i cant wait for you to score again.

That's a pretty trophy indeed, and an accomplishment not to be taken lightly. You have done well, Grasshopper.  8^).

It's very satisfying to do something which pleases you no end.  Congratulations.

Nice deer Joe!  You ready for the 12th?
