Redemption: an act of redeeming or the state of being redeemed; to make up for

 

 

HOW COOL IS THAT! VERY! Congrats and lets have the story!

TEASE - the act of torturing your Trad Gang brothers and sisters with untold stories.
Come on Tommy, out with it!

so the first one will shave...... i'm ready to hear it.

It's nice when they're patient.

 

What I like so much about this picture is that it tells the tale itself.

The hair on the ground tells you how close the first shot was. The second arrow, just a few inches further than the first, shows you the slight change in aim that is the difference between a clean and a bloody arrow.

These were two different deer, twenty minutes apart. One came from the E, the other from the W. The redemption was sweet.

These are my brother's pictures but he never gets on TradGang. I'll put up the "hero" pic soon.

Very cool!  Gotta love those second chances    

Cool picture sir!

Nice story.  Thanks for the pic.

Anybody else notice that the post that seemed to critisize Tommy's ethics has disappeared?

I know the boys at RMS, and they are the best, so I'm not validating that post, but...it's just gone.

Hmmm....speak out of turn, and I guess things just happen.

I noticed.  It was my second post.  Not critical - just curious once he mentioned it was a second deer after 20 minutes why the first arrow wasn't retrieved when climbing down to search for blood after the first shot that drew hair.

Here's the outcome of the second shot.

Well-done to your brother! I need a bit of redemption myself, having blown my last chance.
