I'm a recurve guy myself so Id love to hear the story behind the hunt. How challenging was it to get close enough? Any obstacles?

He kept telling me about how they were just out of range or didn't show up. Finally this morning he put it together. I think it was around 15 yards. He's been shooting longbow for about 6 years. I used to own that now till my shoulder gave up and I know it takes some serious commitment to shoot it well. It's good to see young guys who put in the effort. I

Then he sent this pic. Rub it in while you're at it.
