Congratulations Zeus. You're one up on me. I'm still o fer. And it will be my third season before I get another chance. Ok, I admit it. I'M JEALOUS! LOL good job!

KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL.

Job well done. Congrats.

Congrats on your first deer!

ZUES - Congratulations on your first archery deer!

Thanks for sharing the story of your harvest. And guess what, he IS your trophy as will every bow kill you make. Bowhunting is the greatest challange in big game hunting. Glad to hear you have broken the glass ceiling with this one.



Shoot often - Hunt always

I saw three bucks from stand the other night with broken racks. The rut is taking it's toll. Congratulations! My first bow kill was this year also!

THWACK!

Congradulations, Now your hooked. I took me several years to get my first one with a bow that was last year and since then i have taken 4 more. Keep em coming.

Fantastic!

I'm jealous. Ifinally got my first shot at a deer about 2 weeks ago, and I missed. Darned twigs! He was huge and had great massive antlers.

Where did you hit him? Sounds like you nailed him pretty good.

Keep 'em all in the Bull.

Where I hit him? Well, that is a bit of a mystery to me..not where I hit him but the drop in my arrow. When I grunted and he stopped he was approx 20 yards from me. I have practised and practised my distances (I have even set my scent pads out at 10- 15 - 20 - 30 so I had something to judge my shots from). When I drew back I marked mid body vitals and released. My arrow nicked the back of the elbow joint of his front leg (that's where the limp came from) entered through the ribs travelled through both lungs and exited about the same spot it was a good vitals shot but I could not beleive how low my shot was as it was not intentional? He only travelled approx 60-70 yards before he dropped (I think he dropped I was a little excited). I can only attribute the drop in my shot to "Buck Fever". I still cant find my broadhead or the shaft only the the top six inches. I have only been that excited once before and that was when I was 15 and took my first deer with a rifle. I should have the photos out by Monday. Thanks for all the comments they are muchly appreciated!!

Great job Zues, sounds to me like your shot wasn't too far off, just a few inches low. It also sounds like you had to shoot quickly, which means you might have dropped you bow arm in the last instant.

No worry's, now lets see some pictures!
