RE: first bowkill how far did you have to track your kill
My 1st bow kill came when I was about 12 years old. The man next door called me over to shoot a rat that had got in his drum of dog food. It just ran in a couple of circles then died. The shot was almost stright down. The field tip, supprisingly, caused a pretty good blood trail.
I hope to get a whitetail some day!
