Trad Kill Thread 2023

How'd you get him out of all that water to start breaking him down?

I put some Mule tape around his antlers and while my two friends pulled from the dry bank I tugged and lifted his head until we got him in the shallows. As we took quarters off we pulled him higher up on land

First, second, and third kills with a bow. Decided to jump into the deep end and go straight to traditional. Setup pic included because it's a looker!

Deer/elk next!

Found a Red oak dropping a few acorns with decent sign. This doe along with 3 other does and yearlings came in. About a 15 yard shot with my TallTines StickFlinger longbow 50#@26” 62” amo. Goldtip Traditional shaft 29” long with a 100gr brass insert and a 160gr Simmons Landshark head, 534gr total arrow weight

A December to Remember!

I took the doe on the 1st in OKlahoma. Shot her at 15 yards but I couldn’t find blood despite making a good shot. Called a friend with her Bavarian Mountain hound puppy and she trailed the doe 750 yards!

Drove to Kansas on the 6th arriving at noon. Got settled into my stand at 2pm. The big bodied 9pt came in just before dark. I shot him at 15 yards and he went down in sight about 60 yards

Drove south to Oklahoma and shot this beautiful main frame 9pt on the 9th with a split brow and a 3” kicker off the base! Blessed beyond words!
I was shooting my Toelke Whip 44#@26” 62” amo
Magnus Stinger 4 blade 150gr head. 534gr total arrow weight.

Nice. Don't you wish those things were about 40 pounds? Best tasting wild game IMO.

FYI, you may want to slide you quiver on further if you can. Looks like it is on the working part of your limbs. Just my opinion, you are obviously shooting fine but it can suck up some of the limb's power.

In Idaho. 15 yard shot and a 80 yard recovery. Hoyt satori Easton axis arrows and iron will broad heads
