Title: Buttonhead buck down with the longbow
Post by: Ray on November 28, 2010, 02:40:21 PM: Yesterday I got a turkey. Today I got this buttonhead buck. It was a 20 yard shot with the sapphire hawk. Went through the heart. He dropped dead 30 yards from where he was shot. I had thought it was a doe until closer inspection revealed nuggets and buttons. :chuckle: Finally got some critter down with the hawk.

Post by: USAFpj on November 29, 2010, 08:11:43 PM: Great job, Ray! Just when I thought I may have to learn to shoot a c-c-c-compound just to get some meat in the freezer. So many times within the last 3 years with my longbow that I wish for just an extra 20 yds :bash:
Title: Re: Buttonhead buck down with the longbow
Post by: Wanttohuntmore on November 29, 2010, 08:42:22 PM: Good job! I want to get my next elk with a longbow. We'll see how my practice goes, and I'll decide next August if I'm ready or not! Definitely print that pic in b&w!

Title: Re: Buttonhead buck down with the longbow
Post by: C-Money on December 01, 2010, 07:36:36 PM: Nice! Glad you scored with the traditional bow! Ever thought about using a flintlock? That is fun too! Lighting a fire with a rock to kill a deer! Traditional bow hands down is tougher, Congrats on a fine deer!
Title: Re: Buttonhead buck down with the longbow
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on December 01, 2010, 07:38:33 PM: Nice job BDO err Ray... Saw that over on Tradgang already! Nice price you got on that jacket too. Nice to see the Hawks putting them down this year. That will be one fine eating deer.

Post by: boneaddict on December 01, 2010, 08:28:32 PM: One of the better field photos I have seen this fall. Says it all. back to basics and meat in the freezer before most people get out of bed.
