Bagging My First Deer with a Traditional Bow: A Thrilling Weekend of Hunting

Congratulations on your 1st bow buck, Dan! It's not easy to hunt without all the bells and whistles of a compound. Respect. I shoot my compound instinctively and it has nothing on it. When I heard Ted Nugent say he use to shoot that way, I thought I'd try. I bought my bow and the shop wanted to start putting things on it ($$ in their pockets-ha) and they seemed disappointed and also were probably rolling their eyes when I told them I had no plans to add it. This is getting long, sorry. But I've only had the opportunity to shoot at am elk. I wasn't thinking clear (was distracted) and I wasn't aiming small. I missed. I enjoyed the opportunity though and lesson learned.
Welcome to the GoWild Fam and hope you enjoy this great community.

Thanks yeah I’m loving this site, people liked minded as me and I can talked outdoors all day! I used to shoot compound and then fell in love with traditional bow hunting. We will always have animals that we miss but that’s part of hunting and part learning too.
