Killed a buck from the ground with my longbow this past weekend

[benmmc]

This was my first deer with a longbow. It was awesome. I was hunting from the ground with my brother. Got him at 12 yards. A really fun experience. I probably won't be able to sit in a treestand anymore. We'll see.

Bow: 58" 60# Thunder Stick Mag (Rosewood and Elm)
Broadhead: 125 gr Simmons Land Shark
Arrow: Beman ICS Bowhunter 400 with 100 gr brass insert

Long bows are the only "real" bows. Great photo too.

Congratulations. Definitely is an adrenaline rush to take one with a bow.

you need to file this in the "I'm sorry,but you're not a better hunter than me " thread

Dude! That's awesome. The first longbow deer is amazing! When I got mine I almost fell out of my stand.

Congrats on an amazing trophy and for doing it the hard way.
