First recurve kill with a 1962 Bear Kodiak Magnum

[scrub-buster]

I have wanted to kill a deer with a vintage recurve bow for a while.  Tonight I made it happen.  I was using a 1962 Bear Kodiak Magnum.  I was sitting in a valley below a small pond that's in the woods.  Nothing was moving.  It was very slow for the first hour or so.  At 6:00 pm a doe walked my direction from the pond.  She came straight down the hill at me and turned on a trail about 10 yards away.  I stood up when she went behind some trees.  She took a few more steps and gave me a nice broadside shot.  The next thing I see is my arrow disappearing behind her shoulder.  I knew it was a good hit.  She took off running up the hill to my left.  I could see red spraying out as she ran.  She dropped about 40 yards away.  The Zwickey 2 blade broadhead went through both lungs and split a rib longways.

The doe is 1.5 years old.  She is easily recognizable by the blond patch of fur on her fore head.  She was a fawn last year.  It's not the biggest doe that I saw today but it's the only one who gave me a shot within my 15 yard comfort zone.

Pictures are to big.  I'll try to fix it.
