Title: Finally got in close and hit the mark with my bow

Got number 1 for the year finally.  It was a special one for me since I have only seen a few of these things in Washington.

Walking.  This was number 8 for me in the last 3 years :-)   I sometimes use the Guillotine broad heads and go for the neck which is awesome

I use aluminium, and no don't break to many.  The neck shots with the guillotine broadheads usually require a blade or 2 replacement if I hit or not.  I also don't get many shots because they see me and fly off.  I am going to make some flu flu arrows this year and see about some air shooting.  This goose with thunderhead 125 and a few in the last couple of years were pass through and into the soft ground.

That's nothing, I shoot teal on the wing with a recurve I built from scratch.

Nice shootin, you must have many missed stalks for every shot.
