My first trad kill!

[highlow]

Way to go. We don't got none uh dem dumbies here in NJ. What we do have, and they are few and far between now, won't let you get within 30 yds. much less wait for you to draw a bow. I couldn't even hit them with a shotgun when I hunted them years ago. We call them "thunder chickens" and for good reason. Almost make you lose control of certain sphincter muscles when they take off.

Nice job!!    
A Judo-tipped arrow is part of my arsenal for elk every year for this very reason.

Good shot!!

Good work!  I love a blue grouse roasted on a stick over the coals!

Careful grouse are addictive. I sometimes forget I am elk hunting when the grouse are thick ha ha.

Congrats on your first may it be a long and fruitful journey.
