Have yet to kill a buck with a bow Randy, been going out with a bow for probably 15 years now.

Have had several in range that I have passed up and had several I have gotten drawn on that for whatever reason I let walk. I had 3 little bucks all around me on our opener this year, they never knew I was there, could have very easily taken one of them. I missed a 120 class 8 point on a very cold morning in 2003, not sure if my string slapped my parka or if I hit a limb. Got drawn on a really nice mature big bodied 10 point in 2006, but circumstances that go with hunting I never got a shot off. That 10 point haunts me, at the distance he was at I kind of regret not letting my arrow fly, but I really thought I would meet up with him again and not have an issue with not knowing whether or not a little overhanging limb would be a factor.

Started bowhunting in 1970 as a kid. My Dad's Mini-me of sorts. Blackwidow TF recurve was my first hunting stick and an Allen/Jennings Hunter compound (the original first compound) was my first 6 wheeled bow. Instinctive shooter till the early 90s, 3 fingers below the nock and moved into string peep, release and pins around 93. Still have my Widow and original Allen/Jennings compound. Chuck Adams wanted to buy my Allen/Jennings hunter in Buda Texas (a Cabela's gathering) but I had to tell the Man no :) He understood.....lot of personal ties to that old bow.

Through the years I've put down a lot of critters shooting various archery diciplines. My first whitetail, a Texas doe, shot with my Blackwidow TF is my most memorable. Broke that ice and the rest is history...... I owe it all to Pops!

I have several P&Y pronghorns and P&Y whitetail through the years. Still hunting that B&C with my sticks.
