First deer with a bow , and it`s a buck

draco · October 19, 2007, 11:32:00 PM

Earlier this year,a good friend`s son informed me he wanted to start bowhunting. I had started his dad bowhunting over 20 years ago and he had killed a deer his first time out. I loaned him an old Saxon longbow I had that was 68" long.He`s 6'3" tall with arms like a gorilla so it would be perfect. I taught him to shoot,took him about a week before he could out shoot me. Well he brought it all together tonight and made me proud. I put him in a stand in the corner of a field where deer enter the field. I dont have any kids and he`s about the closest thing to a son that I have,and I am proud of he`s acomplishment. I dont know who was the most excited,him or me. He had to give the stern look in the photo, wished he would of smiled. http://photobucket.com" target="_blank">

Smiling is overrated in dead animal pics anyway lots of emotions at play; he looks like a killer to me! LOL!!
