This nice little 8 point was an early Christmas present for me. I shot him on the morning of the 23rd while visiting my parents in Missouri. My mom had taken some video of a great 8 pointer a few days before, and I was looking for the big guy. But when this one walked if front of me at 17 yards after I had been watching him for a half an hour, I decided that he would do just fine. This is my first whitetail with a bow, so I was really excited.

PS...Hello bamboo!!!

[joe skipp]

Thats my new Mike Tyson Tatoo...I barely scrambled up to the rock before the timer went off! Past few years this NY/PA Connection has put a hurt on some whitetails...hope you can join the club....

Since you love to stillhunt and sneak all day, Mike and I have great plans for ya...We're gonna turn you loose to drive all those hard places where the big boys might be hiding...So, bring plenty of water and make sure your boots are well broken in!!!!! We would ask Greene but he's always napping....

I had an exciting evening hunt, I had 2 small 6 pointers come in and then a big buck that had broken off one side, no brow tines but had 8" G2. I didn't want to shoot the smaller bucks and didnt want a one sided buck. This spike kept trying to come in and the other bucks would run him off. I kept waiting for him to give me a shot and thought if they ran him off one more time, i would try for one of the small bucks. Finally it happened i got the shot at about 12 yards. I knew it was a good hit. I waited about 5 minutes and left the blind for my truck and went to ask my brother David for a flashlight then drove around to where I hit him and started trying to trail but with no luck. I kept searching until David and Robert showed up and after about 20 minutes, Robert found the first blood. It was very sparse but after about 50 yards we found 2 big pools of blood then a good trail to 2 more pools then it ran out. David found blood on a cedar bush about 50 yards from the last sign. We walked around the bush and there he lay. My first longbow kill

50# 68"  LB, POC arrow and a 150 grain grizzley el grande
