Default First archery kill

After a couple years i finialy managed to get my first bow kill. After several long days in the bush i finialy managed to conect on my first cow moose. earlier in the day i blow a 60 yard chance on a cow. As we where making a move to where we though she might head to this pretty lady came walking up the draw right at us. She spotted my buddy at 22 yard and stopped but from where i was standing i saw nothing but head and trees. She took a couple steeps to investage what my buddy was and gave me a good broad side shot. I hit her a little high but managed to put her down with in 80 yards of where i shot her. i have done a lot of rifle hunting but nothing beats the thrill of your first bow kill.

Congrats.

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard

Congrats on your first bow kill. Really is different from rifle hunting.
