First Bow Kill!!! [Pics added]

Most of you have seen in the LFTT thread, but wanted to make a separate post.


It ain't a huge buck, just a doe, but MAN WHAT A RUSH. Without getting too sappy and sentimental, I just want to say thanks to everyone on here that has given me advice and tips. No one in my family hunts, so learning how to bow hunt has been a challenge, but I think that is true for anyone. I finally got it put together this morning and connected, I'm hooked forever. This is my third season to hunt, second deer, and first with a bow.


I can honestly say, the bow deer was way more satisfying. I'm sure I will still tote a rifle this season...but I'm not hanging the bow up either.

Next goal: Kill my first buck.

Thanks guys!

First pic you can see where it died:

There's nothing quite like getting your first deer with a bow. It's an awesome feeling, and it always feels awesome no matter how many you get! Congrats!

Man, we've all been rooting for you! Congrats again!

It's a great feeling

WTG MAN!!!! I have not forgot my first one with stick and string. Buck or Doe no matter its a trophy in your heart that will be there forever.

Congrats!

May there be many more!

Jono, you the man! High Five! So happy for ya!

Congrats brother, nothing like a bow kill.

Good job man. Glad you got it done. Nice work

Good job Jono

Nice! Congrats!

Congrats! There is nothing more fun than shooting them with a bow.

Way to stick with it!! Now go get you that buck with a bow.

Nice shot by the way, love those type of tracking jobs.

Also, you might try slicing a doe back leg where you normally hang her up to clean her and then stick the other hoof through the slit to make a figure 4 shape. It makes a nice handle to grab hold of for dragging a doe.

Way to go Jono!

Congrats

Congrats on #1.

Now go kill one without a leash on it!

Good for you bud! Nice donkey!

Haha! I bet

You gotta experience killin one a thousand feet up on a ridge and dragging it down too, thats a real experience
