Osage, Rivercane and Obsidian
« on: October 25, 2012, 01:40:51 am »
I finally met my goal of harvesting a deer with my hand made equipment.  The shot was 12 yards and broadside. I hit forward of the shoulder blade but managed to get the arrowhead into the chest cavity. She went about 60 yards and laid down. I feel very priviledged to have harvested such a beautiful animal.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Congrats Razor. Nice deer, nice equipment and good attitude about the hunt. It is a honorable accomplishment to take a deer the way
you did and admirable that you are humbled and grateful for having been able to do this. Good luck on your next hunt. :)

Congratulations.  It is a real accomplishment and I admire your attitude as well.  Someone asked me "what's it like?" the other day.  I said, "It is like stepping back in time".   You just played a very old and honorable game.  They are special creatures, huh?

Nice job, Razor. Congratulations!!
