Welcome to a great site. Sorry to hear about your Granddad's the two of you. I first picked up a bow when I was 16 out in Colorado, about 29 years ago, WOW, its been that long.... lol... My uncle got me into it. When I moved to up state NY I gave it up for a long time. I had no where to hunt. Well about 4 years ago, I picked it back up. I wont put it back down ever again, God permitting...... If I had to make a choice, and only had time for one of the deer season's, gun or bow, It would be a no brainer. The gun would be put down. I love bow hunting as everyone else on here does.... Its peaceful, no loud bangs everywhere, and ALLOT less people spooking the deer. Its more up close and personal with nature. Nice looking buck you got there also!!!!
