Default 2014 Archery Harvest Thread....post your Pics

Post your pics of your archery harvests from this year, let's TRY to keep this civil and positive!

....Here is my opening day harvest

Called him in while trailing an elk herd....almost the exact same place things went down with my bull elk last year, maybe it is good luck for me to call a coyote in while elk hunting?

This time I shot the coyote and no elk....30 yards, he ran 20 yards in a full out sprint and collapsed then rolled twice like struck by lightning, he never made a sound..wish I had it on camera!

Indeed it is....flys true, opens nicely....what's not to love! The broad head was in Nearly immaculate shape after blowing through the coyote and tumbling after hitting the ground and grass. Something to be said about the toughness of the Goldtip Hunter XT 7595 arrows too!

Hard to take solo pics with only a pack and a camera with 10sec timer

Seeing the velvet hanging off the antlers is pretty cool. Well done!!!

Nice buck, well done.

Wow there are some nice animals getting arrowed this year.

Default Very First Animal

Hey guys, started rifle hunting last year but didn't get anything and picked up a bow again after putting it down for 7 years and got back into it. I went out the other evening and managed to luck out and get this big girl! She was the first animal I ever harvested. Needless to say I'm hooked for life! If you want the whole story on how it unfolded I posted the story in the hunting section.

Enjoy!

Default 2014 Archery Harvest Thread....post your Pics

I got my first ever moose with the bow in zone 248 not huge but an excellent trophy on the table! Super pumped! She died about 60 yards after the shot. Mamba M7 and the G5 T3's did their job.
