Let's see who has the best 2009 Trophy Photo. It can be any critter taken with a bow in 2009.
I will start it off with a photo I took one evening when a freind called me and told me he had just taken his very first 4x4 mule deer with his bow. By the time I got there is pitch black so it was taken with a flash.
Here's one I took, lets see some of the ones the rest of you took.
Have a great bowhunt. BB

I only shot this bear with my camera (on same CO hunt as photo above)...we surprised each other when I sneaked into a draw where some elk had gone. Pic was taken at 25 yds. A couple days later when I had cell service I did send a short text message to my family in which I casually mentioned I "had to shoot a bear." Of course they didn't know I was referring to shooting it with a camera. It sure stirred things up at home, as they knew I had no bear tag! They forgave me later that afternoon when I called to tell them I had just shot a bull elk!

My Nephew Bret, he broke his back in a motorcycle wreck June 09, the Doc gave him the OK to pull his bow in Mid Sept. I told him to practice and when he got so he could hit the vitals on the 3D target everytime at 15 yards we would go hunting, He practiced and it didn't take him long to get hunting accurate and he killed his 1st archery Buck at 5 yards, a nice double lung hit and he was in 7th heaven,
