First Trad kill

[String Tracker]

well i got my first kill today.  not a big one but its a kill.  

[Doc Nock]

Well, congratulations!

I remember back when I switched "back" to trad, after shooting a lot all year the first year, then another year rolled by...and a third...till I got to drop the string on an animal and score a kill. It was a darned ole blackbird in my yard... and a long shot, too! I was soooo proud!   :D  

Congrats. Those peskly rats aren't all that easy to whack and keep whacked!

MD license is so expensive since im not working now.  houseing market has me laid off first time in over 5 years.  I might be able to stop down for chit chat and hang out.  

hope i found the right vid.  its downloading now under UBI Squirrel hunt ?

[PastorSteveHill]

You'll be ready if something bigger comes out on ya!

[String Tracker]

I sure hope so Steve,

this today is the biggest obstical so far.  seeing if i could loose an arrow into an animal.  targets are one thing the life thing is another.

well done mate, it sure aint easy to hit those little guys. congrats!  

[GingivitisKahn]

Good shot!

[Jerry Jeffer]

A tree rat is no easy target. Congrats.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

Don't be so modest. Shooting a deer is easy. Hitting a hyper, twitchy little bundle of nerves called a gray squirrel? That's tough!

Congrats. I'd save the tail and hang it on your bow rack.

[Killdeer]

Did all that yaller stuff come out of your skwerl?  :confused:    :eek:  
Is that a Ben Pearson Colt?
Can I see you do that again?

LOL killdeer

i popped this sucker eating my corn this morning.  was about to give up for a few hours till mid day when i sat there and watched him and a few others eating my corn.   he was about 15 yds out from my groundblind.

the bow is a Bear Black Panther 50# @28

[Killdeer]

You gonna bring that bow to Baltimore? Can I shoot it? I got my own arrows...  

[String Tracker]

can ya shoot lefty?

Congratulations Brian      My first trad kill was a squirrel too.  Well done!

BTW- I usually cook mine in a crockpot until the meat falls off the bones.  I then shred the meat and mix it with a can of mixed vegetables, a jar of chicken gravy, and a little thyme, salt, and pepper.  I use that as a filling for pot pies, using ready to bake crusts; easy and delicious.

I'll say it again, congratulations Brian.  Tasty little critters they are.

[Killdeer]

Ooops. I can hit the target...

 

[Tilbilly]

Congrats! I love the look of those older recurves, too. A less-busy look to them...

[String Tracker]

Thanks everyone.
