First one with a bow I actually made.
« on: November 03, 2018, 09:06:14 pm »
Had a great hunt tonight. Harvested my biggest doe to date. She weighed in at 118 lbs. I have taken a deer with a selfbow before but never with one that I made. Probably a 21-22 yd shot.  Its a pretty awesome feeling.

Congratulations, I bet you are on cloud #9 now.  That's a nice doe, especially with a self made bow.

Thanks for the details arrowbuster. Your right that is how you should feel. I really do wish more people could experience that feeling. Sure glad you got to.

Good job and good eating. chicken fried steak, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, stews, jerky, sausage, stir fry, fajitas, roast, stroganoff, deer kabobs, and no telling what I forgot. No wonder I am getting fat. Congrats.
