Title: 2nd Chances are always good!!
Post by: jlnft on October 30, 2006, 09:46:00 PM
Hi all,

If you remember last week I missed a really nice 8 point buck at 7 YARDS!!

Well, today I got a second chance and it turned out very nicely. He's a true 10 pointer with a couple more 1" kickers. This is my first traditional buck and I couldn't be any happier. It took me all day to recover the deer but it was well worth it.

I should mention, I shoot a Ancient Spirits Thunderhawk and my Silverwood arrows.

Joe

Thanks Gentlemen, there's nothing like when a plan comes together!!.......or a blind hog can find an acorn now and then!! I really don't know which saying applies in the harvest of the buck. Probably, a little of both!!

Thanks Again,
Joe
