Got it done!

Postby Lefty » 12 04, 2016 •  [Post 1]

I dont have permission to post a pic. So not at this time
My neighbor and his sons, a buddy in Minnesota, and this forum are about my only closest connection to archery hunters.
Last night was our ward (church congregation) Christmas activity, social.
My 15 year old neighbor boy walked into the church late in camo, I could tell by his face as he walked towards me he scored big. I immediately looked at his jacket sleeves,.. no blood.
His face was still telling me there was a good story.
He said his shot might have been less than perfect. He showed me pictures of the blood spray he took, them backed out .
I checked at his arrow. Looked like a shot was back,.. but the buck would be dead.
They recovered the buck just a short distance from the stand this morning, .
Dad sent some great pics to me.

A short time later the son sent a couple of pics of dad,.. tears rolling down his face.
While the son was a bit quiet last night about the size of the buck, I thought the boy was underestimating the size.
Just great to be a part of their hunts without physicaly being there.

How awesome is that! Would be great if you could get the young hunter to allow you to post a pic or two up :D

Congratulations to your friend Lefty. Maybe you can get him to join the forum and post the picture himself. I would enjoy seeing it if either of you post.
