Great pics!  Tim, I really like the one of your son giving thanks.  And T.J., that's a very unique photo with your buddy walking up on that deer.  I like it alot, wish I could have seen the second one.

Gene, it was a compound kill. I posted it simply because it is my favorite hero shot I have ever taken. If you would like I can email it to you. I realize why and know this is a trad only site and believe me I appreciate that, but I have many friends that choose a compound and I am afflicted with a sickness that I don't see us as any different. In my mind we are all simply "Bow Hunters".

Tim, that pic of your son praying over that deer is moving, even to a not so religious man.Really, really cool.

Thanks for your comments guys.  The young guy with the 6 pointer is my son's best friend.  A great kid who my son and I got started hunting a few years back.  He's a great kid and a fine shot. My son is in the red plaid enjoying the moment.

The photo of my son praying over the deer was taken when he was 11 years old.  That was his first deer and my buddy snapped the photo from a distance without my son or me noticing.  He gave us the photo a short time after.  To this day my son still gives thanks in the same manner.  Pretty cool....even for a big tough 18 year old to extend respect!

Great photos folks!

I thought the same thing. Though not a religious man, the pic sums up the end result. Very cool. I must admit, I almost always place my hand on the deer's neck for a few seconds, after the kill.

This is my buddy with a dandy buck and one of my favorite pictures.  Pictures are worth a thousand words forsure.

This one is not that great, but it was my first big game kill with Trad gear, and I was extatic!

 

[bozara]

Not a GREAT buck, but a happy hunter!

[Wannabe1]

With envy that is!    May this year be bountiful for everyone.
