finally my first trad kill ever! i finally feel like a trad bowhunter. date 6/18/2010 time 5:06 pm,bow was a browning wasp 45# @28, ams fishing reel 29inche fibeglass arrow tipped off with a muzzy gar easy release. i was bowfishing a little creek in sand springs i like to call the "honey hole" i have pulled a couple of carp and a snake out of it before. this week had been filled with so the core decided to flood the river. naturally this little honey hole of mine fills up fast. i had been there about an hour walking up in down the creek looking for gar to surface and checking the weeds for carp. i started to make my way back to the truck i decided to camp out on a large lump of rocks and thought i might see something. a cople of gar rolled a few times way to far to shoot.after about thirty minutes or so i looked down in front of me and BOOM! there was before i knew it i had my arrow fling in his direction. slam splash and a russel in the mudd there it was my trophy in all its glory. i do believe i can call my self a traditional bowhunter now...or at least a traditional bowfishing man.
Congratulations....but we need pictures!!!! :)

Congrats! The first is always great and you'll never forget it. My first was a rabid Racoon that was at one my Koi Pounds, that I had in my yard then.
(I clutched on my first shot and put the arrow over his back and through the side of the pond - :o :D - 2nd and 3rd shots nailed him though, and the animal patroll guy came and collected him for testing - positive rabies.)
Nice fish, good shootin'.
Nice Work!
The first is always the hardest... it's all downhill from here! Keep 'em coming.
Thats awesome! You will only have one "first kill", congrats!
