Great deer and pics.! I can't think of a better way to honor your father than to continue to hunt with his bows.  I hope my son will continue to hunt with mine when I'm gone some day.
God is good, all the time!!!

My dad passed away and I found in the closet the Bear kodiak magnum and a box of bear arrows that he had. I shot the bow a lot when I has young and plan on taking it to the woods next year after I find a string for it.

I hope I can do my Dad proud as you have.
congratulations,

Tim

Awesome, Bob!  A special day for sure.

Thanks guys. Dad was a very good field archer back in the day, but never had much luck with deer. That is the first deer kill for the bow, finally got it broke in.More to come for sure.
