The Spoiler was my next bow after the renagade. Killed a bunch with the Spoiler.
 
-Mission Hype DXT
-2017
-8pt pictured in my profile, it was a smaller 8, but the biggest I've ever taken.
-Northern VA
-SitDrag, XOP Hand Climber platform, SRT preset location.

He came from downwind, right past me. He passed to my right so I was over my bridge for the shot, I made a grunt as he passed my 3 o'clock but he didn't stop, I let down and figured that was it, no shot, sad face. He went right for the 3 doe's that were 60 yards behind me. It was awesome watching him chase them around, and by sheer luck the doe's came my way lol. He kept chasing and I had a nice 12 yard broadside shot, but he was at my 7 o'clock, and I was still over my bridge, so I ended up shooting over my bridge on the left side of the tree, shooting to my 7 o'clock. Pretty funny the way it all worked out.

Cool thread, hopefully I didn't turn it into a hunting story thread, lol.
 
The cheapest shipping to Pittsburgh pa was $17.30 2 day US postal for Kite and climbing belt.
 
Cool thread. Lots of fun memories here for everyone!

First bow buck kill:
-Vermont
-2008
-PSE Bow Madness
-Easton 2117, muzzy mx4 125gr
-Buckshot Hotshot Climber
-4pt Buck
-42yards. It took 6 steps, fell over and blew half its blood volume out it's nose. I didnt even have to "wait to track it"....man I wish it always happened like that.
 
It was a model T. It had round wheels mounted on a bracket on the end of the limbs. The next year they came out with a "split limb T" where they put the wheels in the limbs without a bracket. Had that a few years, then bought a Golden Eagle Hunter compound with recurve limbs. After a couple years, and two blown limbs (while at full draw) , switched to trad.
 
PSE nova
3 pt last afternoon of bow season. Liver shot. Took a while but we found him.

Next day I shot a 5 pt w a weird drop tine w a shotgun.

Both were taken out of homemade wooden stands.
