11 yard shot - I was shaking so bad I could hardly pull my bow back. Arrow fell off of the rest 2 or 3 times & I was waiting for the rascal to run away.

DAMN!
(I think the above accurately conveys the mix of, envy, jealously, elation, respect for your doing it the hard way, and the sheer awesomeness involved!)
That is one hell of a bird and one hell of a way of taking it.
Congratulations sir!
(next year, homemade longbow???)

I've wanted to make my own bow for a while now - just haven't gotten around to doing it. Maybe I'll take that as a challenge so I have reason to get the thing done. ;D

Thanks. I was afraid to grab him until he stopped kicking - they would have done some damage. ;D

Way to go! You look just a tiny bit excited, too.  I can promise you something good, too - that feeling doesn't go away when it's the 2nd or 3rd bird with a bow, either!! |
