First Buck & With a Bow! (Scoring Help?)
« on: December 15, 2015, 04:47:06 PM »
This was my first year archery hunting.Hunted over 20 days this season and saw tons of shooters, just had trouble closing the gap out in the open country. Decided not to throw in the towel to soon and headed north. I ended up getting him late season at 25 yards with my mathews no-cam at 26.5" and 67lbs, with a grim reaper 1 3/8" mechanical broadhead. He only went about 60 yards after my shot and piled up dead as a wedge after 5 minutes. I normally hunt modern with my family and have shot a doe when I was 11 but this animal being my only buck and bow kill is a memory I will have for ever. What a cool way to end my education at WSU (GO COUGS.) Now its safe to say I am hooked on archery and cant wait till next season. Being that I am normally a Mully hunter I am curious to what this guy would score? I am about to do a European mount on him and hang my arrow through his horns. Just curious to what you whitetail guys think this dude would score? :dunno:

Pics coming soon! :IBCOOL:
