Excellent story, with a seriously happy ending.

Gorgeos buck, what an awesome rack. Good for you!
This was a good plug for Kirk too, because I'm sure everyone reading this is eyeballing that beauty of a bow!

[Montanawidower]

Well done

[Bowwild]

Thanks folks. I enjoyed sharing the story with you.  Its amazing how many little things occur during a bowhunting encounter.

You might notice I have two different arrows in the pictures?  The MFX with blue and orange feathers is tipped with a single-bevel, 2-blade Helix (125 grain + 100 grain insert). That is my primary arrow and what all my "modern" recurve deer have been taken with.  

The MFX with the green barred fletching is a Left Helical arrow and the RHT-bladed Helix heads aren't suited for it. So, I put a 175 grain VPA (3-blade) on that arrow. Had I known this buck would have been in the close shooting window I would have had the VPA in place, just to try that one.

I bought the bow, the quiver, and broadheads from Trad Gang sponsors. I also learned how to tie those neat Whisker balls on the string from the trad ganger's in Hawaii (their video is great!).

Yes, Kirk I like the bow very much!  

I've included a picture showing how I sometimes have a video camera set up.  I had the camera set up during this hunt but on the wrong side of the tree to get the action.

Beautiful BUCK!!!...Congrats!!!!

[Doc Nock]

Roy,

I remember that bow build...and how you had to "talk" Kirk into that li'l black plastic compass! LOL

Congratulations!!! I wish I could introduce my Big Foot to a deer! Season's over and was a bust for the most part! Never had a shot opportunity but on illegal spikes and forkies... I was covered in them!  KS is the place it looks!

I'd have likely stroked out seeing that big rascal!

Very well done!!

[Bowwild]

Yep, and that Compass was Key.....I think....surely it helped....?

I know this, every time I look at that compass I think of Mr. Bear. That can be nothing but a good thing!  Of course as far as that bow goes Kirk gets top billing with me.

[Doc Nock]

Whatever the source of the mojo, the bow did it's part and so did YOU!

Excellent all around!

[Bonebuster]

Taht IS a GREAT buck!

[Swinestalker]

Very nice! The genuine happiness expressed on your face in the pic says it all.
