bowhunting....well it prolly took me 6 years. i killed my first with a gun at 7 and where i hunted at it was hard to bowhunt and i had nobody to teach me, so i tried with a recurve and an antique bear compound but never tried real har. i mean why should i? i was killing deer left and right with my gun. then about 2 years ago i started bowhunting hard and last year i finally scored. 60 lb yearling that had my heart beating like you wouldn believe. i have killed several really nice bucks but the only 1 thast comes close to that yearling is the huge 8 pt that i helped my fiance kill this last weekend. her very first deer and 1 hell of a buck to boot. iv never been that excited about a deer i personally shot
