Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Thanks to everyone that provided guidance/advice, etc. I got my first kill at the end of the season and wow this boy was heavy!!!

Nobody told me how much of a workout it is....ha ha. Any way, I now know I need to invest in a good knife or knives for gutting/skinning.

Congrats on a nice buck and welcome to the club. I wish I could experience what you did again. It was long ago and I still remember it clearly. I envy you. Enjoy your tasties. Just out of curiosity, what are those green vines that your buck crashed into?
Hank

Congrats!

Thanks Hank!! Does that mean you don't hunt now? The green vine I believe is a greenbrier weedy vine. And those thorns hurt when I was trying to get him out of there.

Yes!! Except I lost the arrow!!! BUT will gladly trade that for a freezer of meat.

Awesome! You will never forget this experience. I still remember mine; and yes all the work that took place afterwards too. Congratulations. Welcome to the addiction.

Congrats!
