Anyone score with a bow yet?

Hey all you archers,

Anyone tagged out yet? If so, post some pics.

I've killed a ton of ant hills so far

Are you sure you killed them or did they magically come alive when you shot them?? ;-)

Came close! Opening weekend, saw a big 6 pt the nite before with 7 cows and bugling and working hard to keep the cows together. Opening morning we heard bugles and snuck up and spotted them in a wide open meadow 45 min. before light. Then we were busted by 3 cows that came out behind us while we were watching the group 500 yds away. Then the exitement! Got to a spot at 9 am and decided to put up a Montana decoy. I literally got the 2nd stake in the ground and looked up to see a 5 pt staring at the decoy about 50 yds away. Course my bow was 10 yds away. He was locked in on the decoy and I was sitting behind it so I layed back flat and belly crawled back to the blind where my bow was. I think he pegged me as he kept looking towards me and eventually got nervous and trotted off before I could reach for my bow. Ranged him at 45 yds after he'd left. I probably would have been better to not put up the decoy as they usually come out into this particular meadow. It was an exiting first weekend for me and very surprised to see the ones grouped up and the bugles this early!

I had a buddy take a cow on Monday as he had very limited time to hunt. He said it was 1 yd away at one point, right next the the tree he was leaning on. He waited till it got 16 yds away before taking it.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-02-10 AT 03:16PM (MST)[p]I harvested mine, a small 6X6, on the opening weekend.

I stalked him for a while. I got within 20 yards and it was clean shot. He dropped in less than 5 minutes and 30 yards away from the shoting place. I worked hard a couple days and I am ready to go up again... after a mule deer now.

PS: The broadhead broke when he dropped.
