Well only 3 days into the season we got a nice five by six called in. The date was September first. This guy was screaming all the way in. I had shots at 15 yards, 20 yards but I waited. He wasn't going anywhere. I had a shot at 8 yards, that's what I wanted. I took the shot and knew his game was over. He went 200 yards and was done. My arrow split the rib in two and lodged into the opposite rib. Great penetration. I used my 60 lb black walnut longbow cane arrows and old bear two blade broad heads. My first big game kill with a bow I made. Very rewarding hunt. Also the biggest bull I've killed to date! Second picture is my buddy who was calling for me.

Very well done 8 yrds ...are you breathing yet??!!!
-
Thanks guys for the compliments.
4dog. I am breathing again. I had plenty of time to be ready. I have been in this situation countless times without getting a shot. I have prepared myself mentally for this day, and when it all came together it was like a dream, I had played it through my mind numerous times and my arrow went where it needed to. Then the rejoicing came. I was so happy I almost cried a little bit. A moment I will never forget!
