Fine story telling Charlie ... nice buck

Good luck with your knee, my hunting partner had both of his replaced this year. One in Feb and one in June, he is doing great and is off on a fly fishing trip as I type. He is an extremely active guy, age 63, and he is REALLY happy he made the leap of faith and gotter done.

Good looking buck!

Great story Charlie and congrats to a very fine specimen of a whitetail. Heard from Charlie J that this tread was out here and this is how I spent my lunch time. I had a kneee replaced 2 years ago July. Doing much better. Put it off a long time and now wish I had not. Put up with a lot of discomfort way to long. I was out doing stuff I should not be doing in 4 weeks and climbing mountains in Montana in the fall.
Congrats again and keep the stories coming!!!

And the broadhead was a..........

Never mind....just reread the beginning. We are both getting up there. Really nice job. For a while it seemed that second shots were the norm for me if I was going to kill a deer. It sure does teach you  patience.

Congrats and thanks for sharing, Charlie!  

[Charlie Lamb]

Thanks again guys. Sharing stories with an interested audience is the best motivation for doing it.

Dink... I've used the Simmons from time to time over the years. This was just one of those hunts where they seemed appropriate.
Don't worry, I've got a bunch of Magnus I's set up and razor sharp. The season is just getting started so they'll get some time on the bow before it's all over... still my favorite.

Not sure how many equipment specs I put up, but just to have them in one place here they are.

My bow was a Hill style of my own make. 66", 55# @ 28". Brown glass back and belly. Fiddleback Myrtle riser.  Bow is named "Myrtle".

Arrows are 2216 aluminum with Simmons Interceptor sharpened with a RADA wheel sharpener and finished with a crock stick and leather strop.

The quiver is a Robin Severe custom leather side quiver that holds six arrows clipped in individually.
Conventional camo poly pro top and camo Carhart bibs.

Hand made cuff style armguard and American Leathers "Crossover" glove.

Always a pleasure to read your stuff, Charlie!

Sorry to hear about your knees, but if your insurance will/can pay for them and rehab, you're in like Flynn.  I've heard GREAT things about that whole process these days...even 10 yrs ago!

Congrats on the fine deer in your back yard. I'd have thought St. Louis you couldn't begin to have a garden etc... so you must have best of 2 worlds!

Be well!
