My first bow kill....with feathers
« on: September 29, 2009, 08:32:05 PM »
 Shot this ruffed grouse last week with my bow. This is the first critter I've taken with my bow. I was stoked. What a cool feeling. Maybe next year I will get something with four legs and antlers.
Can't we all just get along?

Congrads and welcome to the ranks of successful "stick throwers" :archer: Anything taken with a bow is a trophy I don't care if it weights 1lb or 1000lbs it a hard won harvest. Take pride in every harvest. Again Congrads  :brew:
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber

well if you can whack a grouse, you should have no problems with a four legged critter. Congrats on your first archery harvest

Congrats. I took my first shot with a bow at a grouse a few weeks ago. The light was low since the sun was just coming up and the arrow made a spark right under the grouse. He must have been amazed at his luck but failed to realize that my buddy had a 20 ga. One dead grouse. Those birds are not bright.

Congrats!  You still have the late hunt for deer/elk don't you (unless you can't hunt during that time period for some reason)?

Cool picture man!  The pride is evident all over in that one.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!
