Default First Bow Kill!!!

Finally got my first animal with my bow
After a 2 hour stalk I shot him at 20 yards and he ran 50 yards and dropped dead
Just bought the new bowtech carbon knight and man i love it
Best bow i have ever shot
1 down for team bowtech

I swear i was the happiest person on planet earth
7 years and finally got one down

By the looks of that Buck, I'd not worry about a 7 year wait! You've got discerning tastes and patience Sir.

Congratulations!

That's a great deer!

If the ones I was on the other day were like that I would be very happy to close a tag on it....sadly they were smaller

Congrats. That's a really nice deer and one heck of a first bow kill. Glad to see that your patience and persistence paid off. I'm sure the next one won't be nearly as long coming.
Again. Well done!!

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard
