RE: Pheasant this morning!Pics too!
ORIGINAL: whitetailsoldier
It was early. The sun was just coming up. There was alot of deer movement throughout the no-shoot hours. I saw a large bodied buck about 70 yards away slowly walk out of my grasp.
I was calling it a day at about 9am. and was walking the fenceline when i saw a golden glimer in the grass. I knew exactly what it was, a big golden male!!! I krept slowly, his back was facing me and I shot through the thickets and long grass. I could hear my arrow break as soon as it hit the brush. Slightly disappointed i walked toward the brush which was about 30 yards away and found my arrow with feathers. I figured man I must have been alot closer to the bird than i thought. WhenI spotted thefloundering large pheasant with half of my arrow in his back So I went to claim my prize, What a morning!
Here he is!

Anyone else shoot small game with bows? I'd like to see pics if you have em'?????

I shot one when I was 14 with a judo point. Huge mistake. The rooster flew away with my arrow stuck in his breast. I was sick about not killing it. I ended up findind it 2 days later with my German Shorthair and it was alive with the arrow still in him. Glad I found it so I could put it out of its misery.

I took my first pheasent with a bow this year right out of my stand, it was about a 25 yard shot from the woods where my stand was to the field edge where he was! Sounds kind of wierd to get excited about it, but it's very cool.
