I hope you escaped without a lump on the forehead...
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

 Nice job Ray, that is a tough feat to accomplish, congrats. Antelope is some of the best game I've ever eaten :drool:.

Thank you. He does eat real good. No sage taste at all. We have made about 5 or 6 dishes at home in the past week and replaced beef in the recipe with pronghorn. I was quite surprised how good the first taste was. In fact I should have probably shot a few more. I would have had I known it was that good.

High five back at you Jeffrey!  :hello:

Snapshot , I walked away unscathed.

Ray, do you use new age carbon/aluminum arrows with those bows or are they made from wood as well?

I shot it with carbon. I also have cedar shafts which I have used in the past as well.

Carbon Penetrates better than my cedar . Partly because of diameter differences and this was the first animal which I have shot with carbon shafts. However if I can find a reliable supply of IPE shafts I would like to give those a whirl.
