In 25 years of bow hunting, this has to be the most satisfying season I've ever had. I haven't gotten to spend as much time in the woods as usual this season. But the days I've been lucky enough to go have been nothing short of amazing! I've missed a big buck, killed a turkey, had several close encounters with some of the biggest deer I've ever seen. (even managed to kill one :) ) And finally...I killed one with one of my stone points ;D It's just a young doe, but I'm as proud of her as any buck I've killed 8) The shot was 20 yards from a ground blind. And the arrow struck about 2" behind the last ribs, just below center and poked out about 2" behind the other side shoulder. She ran a total of about 150 yards. I shot her Saturday evening, but didn't recover it until the next morning.
I need to thank WillH for trading bows with me :) He used this same one to kill a nice buck earlier this year.

Congratulations. Nice looking bow also.

Congrats Shannon. My first selfbow kill was a 55 pound doe. You couldn't have slapped the smile off my face. That'll be some good eating to boot.

I'm still grinning like a possum ;D
Otis, I have somethings for you.
Osage Outlaw, the only way I could ever top this season would be a big buck with osage and stone. ( I'm planning my strategy for next year already :) )
RyanR, WillH made the bow. I cut the billets a few years ago, and he crafted this awesome bow from them! I've never shot ANY bow better! I don't shoot this bow hoping to hit my target. I shoot it expecting to :)
Bob, it feels good. I feel like I accomplished something.
Thank you all! I surely could not have done this without this site and especially Pappy and the Twin Oaks gang. Can't wait to get back down there!
