Here are a couple pictures of the bucks my dad and I shot this year with our bows. He shot his on 10/16/10 and I just got mine yesterday. Both of these bucks were shot on public land, not a 200 acre private posted and patrolled farm. Its been a good year for us. Now its turkey time!
Dads
Mine
Mine was a little wider, but he had me on point length. All in all not to shabby.
Persistence payed off for me. I hunted pretty much every night after work, as well as weekends, and a few weekday mornings before work.
