First Bow Buck, Latest bow buck-Nostalgia
 

Let's see them everyone. This will bring back memories for many of us and help everyone else see where we came from. jmbuck's thread and what some said there prompted this thread and in all the years, I don't remember us doing this. I know we posted first together but the comparison photos will show us "growth".;) Side note: Sorry Mobow but I think this is your year! [8D]

The reason I'm going to love this is photos like GregH's young recurve bow and then last years buck. RESPECT!

Here's my first buck with a bow. If I remember the dates [&:] this should have been back in 1994 or 93....I started bowhunting in 1980 ish.
This buck was taken with a Jennings Carbon Extreme XLR, Bodoodle rest, PSE sights, PSE quiver and 2213 XX75 SuperLites and 100 gr Muzzy's.



And last years buck, Bowtech Allegiance, Trophy Taker Pronghorn, Viper Predator Pro MT sights, Fuse Quiver and stabilizer and Easton ACC's, 100 gr RM Snypers.


And when I think about all the years between then and now I can't fathom where time went not to mention all the changes and animals in between as well.

I don't have any field photos with my first.... But my wife (GF all the way back then:D) and my brother had it mounted for me as a xmas gift.... It was an awfully nice present if I say so myself.

The lil guy all the way to the right. This is the only pic I have of it on the PC.



Here is a photo of last years.

Great idea...
For me it is hard to believe this will be my 6th year bowhunting, and how much I've learned and experienced already in those 6 seasons. Bowhunting has made me a better hunter in more ways than I even realize.
Took me a season to shoot my first doe.
Then last year I harvested my first buck with the bow. I had many opportunities at smaller bucks before him, but I waiting for a better buck, and to be completely honest... I was due.




I'll edit my post in a few months with this years monster as my latest:D

This is my first buck and first deer ever with a bow last year killed Oct. 13 3 days after my 3rd daughter was born i bow hunted for about 7 years and then quit for 10 years. Then decided I would pick it back up last year so I borrowed my fathers old1995 modelOnieda Eagle Aero Force and started shooting 2 months before season opened and then took this nice 8 Point it was the most satisfying and rewarding deer I have ever taken.






This deer mount is the one on the left
