I love the color of red in the fall!  Great job Curt, how cool is that? It was just a matter of time man, just a matter of time.

Congrats, and   :thumbsup:  to Cade for his part in this kill.

Take care,

Curt,Thats great I Know how you feel to take it with that bow and arrow.This year I wanted to take one with my longbow and a cedar arrow that I made.I know you have taken some nice bucks but I bet you'll remember this one.Good luck on your up coming hunt....ED  :thumbsup:
Put some air under it.

Look at the smile,this really means a lot to me...

 

A special bow,arrow,and buck....

 


I got done with pix(selftimers) and it was time for dressing.I had a special tool for this too.A knife made by "LAR43" ,and given to me by him back in late winter.I christened it skinning my turkeys this spring.......

 

Now she's broke in!!

 As you can see,I was hunting with quite a few fellow TGer's.Another one was a thought from Mickey"The ferret" Lotz in an earlier post...
"get um close and hammer um"!!! I've been thinking that since I read it!!!

Congrats on a GREAT hunt and deer!! It's the size of the hunt and not the deer that is important. Thank you for sharing it with us!!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

yeah Curt, still miss that 'curve??? I think a bit of the WOODBOWBUG is in ya now...Great job, and how cool is this, last year I shot a big doe with my selfbow...was not dressed enufff, left my wool shirt at home. Was Nov. 1st. Was shaking almost uncontrollably , about to get out of my stand when her and 4 of her lady friends stepped out.
Took the shot, heart shot, ran about 30 yards...pretty similar circumstances. And so far I'm still the only guy to kill a deer with a Mike Procter( aka maple mike) selfbow!
Very close knit stories eh? again Curt SUPER job.

Wow, I couldn't wait to get up and check this.I just went back and read it start to finish.What a week.I saw a grand total of 1 deer while hunting with Mr. Clean.....he sure is gonna eat good   :bigsmyl:  

McRae,You may be right bud...

"an eleven pointer"..yessir Johnboy,yessir!

Canyon, Joe Weed "Osagetree" gets it next,then Ted Kinney "Ted",then you and Jason,there's a note to get it to you by the last week in Dec.

Charlie,Maybe not as much now   ;)  

At the beginning of the week I decided I would shoot any deer with this bow.Limited hunting time,and I knew it would be special regardless of size.

This is the smallest buck I've shot in quite a while,but I couldn't be happier,prouder! The sense of accomplishment is almost overwelming!!

I know you selfbow guy do this all the time,probably no big deal to ya.But for me it was something very different,most rewarding!

First time I've ever killed anything with an arrow someone besides myself made,and first kill with a bow that wasn't custom made for me with my name on it.As most know I'm a "one bow guy" and my best friend since '97 has been my Kwyk Styk(Ol' Reliable),to be honest it was tough to put her aside for this time,but it was well worth it.

I've opened up a whole new world!!!!!
