Nice one! Thick neck - still in rut?

Man, look at the greenery! Is it springtime there?

Very solid second rut looking deer. Bow hunting is great and with today's compound bows including sighting systems and release mechanisms the accuracy and consistency is incredible. Hunting with Flintlocks is harder and more trouble than today's archery.

After 20 years of shooting 100gr Thunderheads, two years ago I started shooting SlickTrick Magnum 100gr. They are deadly, and literally fly identically to my fieldpoints, which Thunderheads never did.

That is the thing about archery, its having consistency and control in the variables. The guys like Fred Bear and Pearson, not to mention native americans, were just dang good at it because they did it all the time. Nowadays you can get a bow almost as dialed in as a crossbow for a casual shooter, hence the popularity. Its still challenging but a heck of a lot easier than it ways.

I think archery technology of today from re-curve bows evolved in similar fashion as to black powder muzzle loading guns to hammer guns with cartridges.
