That's awesome.    :tup:


I give myself and my son another couple of years and we will start to Archery hunt. I hunted archery once when living in MO and I loved it. Never got back into it when I moved to WA. Sold my Bow and all that went with it.

Jonathan, that was a nice shot.  Practice pays off, of course, but instincts really helped you out here.  I suspect your "day job" and constant training has something to do with the instinctive reaction.

Very well done.  Congratulations.

Thanks pd.

My day job isn't exactly a macho, instinct-stimulating gig though.

I think getting constantly busted by early archery elk or hesitating .5 seconds too long all September is what made me react so quick  :chuckle:

I had to come back home and get "whitetail therapy" after getting figuratively kicked in the sac by elk and blacktails.

*Final Update*

Bacon-wrapped tenderloins last night, making a 10 lb batch of jerky tonight.  The rest of him is vacuum-sealed and in the freezer.

We're off tomorrow to try and put another one to rest for my wife's first deer hunt.

Good luck MZs!

Great story definitely a 1st archery buck to be proud of!

(Also, +2 pts for correct use of the word "macabre" in your story)

Congrats man :tup:
