Well, I've been a little slow to get things rolling this deer season. The deer starting out made a mockery of my slow bows so I backed off till things felt right again. This weekend was the gun opener here in S Texas and I took my wife to a non-managed property to get some meat for the freezer. As luck would have it, a nice little 8 point crossed my path this morning at around 7:00am. It was his last morning. Took him at 6 yards with my Hummingbird "free spirit" that I acquired from Chad Jones, a carbon arrow from Tom Davidson, and a MR-3-S Broadhead from Jerry Wobble... All three tradgangers were with me when I dropped the buck. He is no monster but Im a proud hunter anyway. I'll post pics in the morning. I got pigs to hunt now. CK
congrats CK :thumbsup:

Mike
Yeah...I am with wingnut..where be those pics..???
Ever thought of changin yer name to Curtis Killer? :bigsmyl:
Congrats Bud :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks for the comments fellas. Thanks for the patience as well. This buck would generally not be a shooter under our managment program but Debbie and I were on unmanaged property for this hunt and therefor he was a shooter. We heard over 20 gun shots over the weekend so the buck was destined to die anyway. Im very proud to have shot him with the longbow even though he is a little small.
Harl, I shot a pig Tuesday and Thursday mornings with those arrows you sent me also. No-one at home to take pics in the mornings. One 40-50# and the other hog was huge @25#..... Tender. CK

Terry, think you should change CK's log in description under his avatar to "dealer of death" or some such ;) Dang, nuthin is safe round him. Selfbows, glass bows, cane arras, carbons, it don't matter, at right there gentle fellers is one huntin monster.
JC... I just talked to Curtis and beg to differ with you.
He shot that deer when it wasn't looking!! Geez! Talk about unfair advantage. The dang thing only jumped string a little bit! :D
Awesome!
Cool!
Is there anything that is SAFE around you?!
Nicely done!
Way ta go Curtis..... Keep em comming
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :notworthy:
You da' man Littlefeather!!!!!!!!! Nice buck bro.
Congrads!! :thumbsup:
Don,t know how you southern guys deal with the heat,guess ya just get used to it after awhile.Im wishin it would cool down some to maybe 25 or 30 :) for day time highs.
Congrats Curtis.....AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
:bigsmyl:
Thanks again guys...
JC, you make my hunting sound sooooo Archery romantic. I can assure you that once you add in all the variables such as misses, blown opportunities, stupid mistakes, etc., you can easily see that those kills you see are mearly blessings for all the failures. I am certain that my successes are duly in part to the fact that I hunt 150 days a year or more. Strictly a blessing, nothing more. Thanks for the kind words though.
Terry, Those are fantastic sign-off words under your post. Very nice! CK
Yep, you just get lucky...right? Ain't got nuthin to do with hard work, time in the field, determination and hunting ability. Yer too humble to admit it, but the rest of us who have hunted with you know the truth.... :bigsmyl:
Nice little buck CK....gosh if you Lance, and Grabwad all hunted the same place for a whole week there wouldn't be a live critter anywhere on the ranch :rolleyes:
Texas badlands archer does it again!!!!way to go Curtis...LOL what micky said!!!! 2 coona$$ 's and Texan , critters beware!!LOL .. nicely done mark#78
I better keep hunting solo Mick. If I hunt with those two there wont be anything left. :bigsmyl:
Way to go Curtis, nice buck, congrats on a great job.
David
Great Job!!
The wait for a pic. about killed me though.
Congrats,
BR
Ps I'd love to hunt 150days (WOW) you go get'em!! :notworthy:
Curtis,
Congratuations!
The buck is nice but that 25# pig.....that is the way I like em!Good and tender.
Four months and 11 days until the sweat.
Chris
