Title: First Archery Kill!
Post by: Clark33 on December 02, 2010, 12:00:39 PM: Well after 2 unsuccessful archery seasons I finally sealed the deal yesterday in the Little Naches. I spotted this guy bedded down below me about 150 yards away. Took me over an hour to close the gap to 50 yards... the snow was getting pretty squeaky. I managed to make a clean 50 yard shot on him while he was bedded down. He went about 100 yards and bedded down. I waited about 15 min and began to follow the blood trail, i spotted him and he was definitely going to die, blood everywhere, but i snuck within 25 yards and put another arrow in him and that was that. I've shot plenty of deer with a rifle but theres something about taking one with a bow that I just can't explain, I'm extremely happy to say the least.
