Default Earned My Antlers

I started hunting later in life. Over the past 7 years I've taken a doe and a button buck (with my muzzle loader). Well, it finally happened; a few days ago I took my first buck with the bow. What an incredible adrenalin rush. The big boy was about 25 yards out, and I put the arrow right in the sweet spot; he didn't travel far after the hit. Now, it's off to the taxidermy shop.

It takes more time but it all pays off in the end when you finally get one.
