Shoot, on state land in Michigan that would be considered a Monster. Nice job, the smaller ones are more tasty and tender.

Thanks for the kind words guys, and yes the meat is VERY tender, and the deer was small, but to him it was the MOST EXCITING kill he's ever had. He comes from a background where hunting mainly consisted of deer drives and lobbing lead at every (yes EVERY) deer that ran by. So this is definitely a step in the right direction as far as I am concerned. If you've never got to be there and watch someone else get their first archery (crossbow) kill, it's pretty exciting to the observer hoping to get that person addicted to the sport too!!!!

Doug, that there is one of the most rewarding things ever. Congrats to him on his first and to you for increasing our numbers by one. I too have a new hunter inthe works. We shall see how it works out this weeekend.

Perhaps he is high on his newfound passion? I say congrats- I am still 0 for 0 in bowhunting and I would have nailed that buck too! Throw those steaks in the crockpot and celebrate!

Great way to start what will most likely be a lifelong obsession. Pass along the welcome to the club from me...

Congrats to your buddy. Glad you could be a part of it. Congrats to you on getting another involved. In my books any kill with a bow is rewarding.

But wake him up please.:D
