Title: First Trad Buck
Post by: wolfcoach on December 07, 2005, 09:22:00 AM
I finally shot my first traditional buck after 3 years last night.  I headed for the woods right after school and got set up in my treestand.  He came in with another little buck around 4:00 pm. at about 12 yards.  Double lung shot and he went 60 yards.

I am shooting a ChekMate Hunter II 51# @ 28" with a 29" 2016 and a 140gr. Journeyman 2 blade head.
