First Traditional Kill in the Buckeye State

[Bowhunter57]

Well, my doctor neighbor, Riley, has done it again. I sold him my ILF Longbow, back in August and he practiced with it until deer season, hoping for a shot opportunity. He's been hard at it and patiently waiting and today was his day. 20 degrees with a 15-20 mph wind and he toughs it out until this button buck shows up and presents a 15 yards shot. After the shot he ran 35ish yards and tipped over from a complete pass thru on both lungs and cut the top of the aorta off. Quite an impressive feat!
...and umm, yes the orange vest was removed for the photos.

Riley is breathing rarified air in that picture. Congrats to him. The ice is broken. It is extra hard to kill a deer with a traditional bow this time of year, besides. Good on him for sticking it out.
