Matrix 380 and Equinox both score!

Post by hotdog »

My dad and me both scored this morning, he was using my Matrix 380, and I was using the Equinox.
My dad is a disabled veteran, and has COPD so bad that he can't walk 5 feet without gasping for air. I trie to take him hunting as much as I can before it gets real cold.
He had an old Horton crossbow that he had killed a truckload of deer with,and something happened to the trigger mechanism. So he was going to quit hunting.

Back before season came in I got him to come out and shoot my crossbows with me. He really liked the matrix, so I talked him into hunting again this season.

Well it all came together this morning, I had just shot a doe and was getting ready to holler at him on the Walkie when he paged me saying he had one down. It just made my day, and I hope to keep him hunting as long as I can! Here are the pictures of his 4 point, and the doe I harvested.

Very good times! Enjoy every minute with him. My dad has been gone 11 years now. I would give anything to go hunting with him one more time.

Way to go!!!!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
