First Bow Kill!!!!

Hey all........I got my first bow kill. A cow Elk @ 20yrdson Tues.morning. I guess it wouldn't be that big of a deal except this was only the start of my 3rd bow season with only about 13 days total.... of in the field bow experience.Not to mention the fact that I missed (yardage) last year and I haven't slept since.I really can't explain all of the emotion that comes to a head at that moment. Although I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.
In a nutshell.............It's everything!!!! The off season work,the tuning.The practice. The late night dreams,the hard hunting,getting up at 3:30 in the morning and getting to bed around 10:00pm after miles of hunting and just not getting it done. It's the animal, it's you and it's the moment.That feeling,that rush. It can make you hug another man.Shed some tears and say glory to all that is......All.........In that one single moment.
I've always gotten what (until now) I thought was the highest of highs when I've taken an animal with my rifle or muzzleloader. But it's not the same!
I've been 10 yrds from an animal (bull)and not had a shot.17 yds from an animal and not had a shot.Many animals(Bull's,cow's, buck's and doe's)from 20-50yrds and not had a shot.Too many blown stalks to tell and a previous mentioned miss.
When it finally pays off............WOW

If I could ever in my lifetime figure out the process for uploading pics.I'll post.

Thanks guy's!
Have a good night and a good hunting season!!

Bill
