Default My 1st Bow Kill

Hi there, I finally got the monkey off my back and was sucessful on my 1st bow kill. I shot a bull moose friday Oct 7. Not the biggest, especially after waiting 12 yrs for the tag. You might say, I got caught up in the heat of the moment I guess lol. I'm Happy with him, and the Tenders were awesome on the BBQ later that night. The drop Tine gives him a lil Character and makes up for the lack of size. I got to share the experience with some great friends, just wish my sons could of been there too.

Cheers MM

Thanks, ya the Droptine make up for the size. Told myself I was going to hold out for a big one ya rite......the excitement got the best of me in a big way. Still happy with him, being my 1st with a bow kinda eases the pain of waiting 12yrs for the tag.

Cheers MM
