Any bowhunters? Got some pics of my 2010 bow kill...
I'm an avid bowhunter, but I've been pretty selective in the buck I want to harvest so I had a dry spell of 11 years without harvesting a buck that got me excited. I started bowhunting at age 12 in 1999... where I shot my first buck with a bow in late October. Nothing monstrous, but it was my FIRST ONE. :)
Picture when I was 12 with my first bow kill:
After that... no bucks. I could've harvested dozens of the one pictured above, but I'd always seen bigger ones so I held out..
Zoom to 2010: I am 23 years old, working full-time, a full-time student, and a single dad. Time is working against me for sure... I told myself that I was going to shoot something this year.. and my patience paid off.
I shot this buck on November 6th 2010. 18" wide, 8 point. Scored 136. A good buck to end my 10+ year dry spell.
And the Euro mount I am doIng of the skull:
Anyone else have a bowhunt success story?
