I harvested this buck on Sept 6, 2007.  He scored 144 7/8 net Pope & Young.  He was my first big game animal with my bow.  I also harvest a white tailed doe, and 2 mule deer does with my bow in 2007.  I am totally addicted to bow hunting.

I got my first deer with a bow this year and it happened to be a 160inch 8pt from SW Missouri.

2007 Buck

My name is Kathy Tylen and I am from St. Clair MI. I finally arrowed my first whitetail doe with a bow at 25 yards in the Michigan woods.  After the shot the doe only made it 35 yards.  I can't begin to describe the feeling of accomplishment and the emotions I felt because of my family pride in my persistence to finally arrow a whitetail.

with a beautiful 10 point from last year that scored 147 and 7/8 Pope and Young.

Hello, my name is Linda Carrozza I have been hunting for three years now (bow only) and have had some good success.  With the help of my husband Lew & step-son Sam, I have learned that I could also be a hunter too.  My husband introduced me to the sport three years ago, give me a bow for my birthday and with Sam & Lew giving me the finer points of archery I soon became a decent shot.  Lots and lots of practice.

I took this buck with my Browning Compound Bow, November 7th, 2003. He came in behind my ladder stand at 4:30 pm and I was fortunate to be able to take a good shot before the sun set. He ran down the hill and dropped right beside the road so when my husband and neighbor came to help me transport this beast home we only had to drag it a few feet. This is my first Ohio Big Buck, scored by my husband at 156 5/8.

This fine specimen of a Mountain Lion was taken with Clark Fork Outfitters in Clark Fork, Idaho. The hunt will air this fall on Whitetail Adventures with Brenda Valentine on the Men's Channel.  This is for sure a challenging hunt but I recommend this professionally run outfit for any of you ladies looking for a good, clean, family atmosphere along with some serious hunting.  For the hunt I used my Parker Ultra-Lite 31 bow.  The cat was 7ft. 2inches from head to tail.

2004 My Texas Whitetail.  I shot him at 8 yards on the ground!

2004 One of my Texas hogs.  He died, right in this creek. I just turned him over and posed him

I took this hog with my bow, in Florida - guided by Arrowhead Outfitters.  My husband and I went on a weekend hog hunt, for our 25th wedding annivesary.  We both were successful, however mine was the largest.

Harvested in Sept 2003 in Northern Quebec. I was using a Renegade bow set at 52 lbs. The scenery there is right out of the pictures of Canadian Tundra. My first Caribou came in with 2 other bulls. He was the smallest of the 3 but I selected him due to his solid white neck which indicated to me that he was a mature animal.

Also harvested in Sept. 2003 in Northern Quebec, again with my bow - it became a challenge just deciding which one to select - as we had been seeing several thousand Caribou. This Caribou came in with 15 other bulls. I selected him since he had a double shovel and nice bezes.

took this massive 9 point during the 2002 October Bow season on our farm here in TN.

I shot this buck today at 4:30, dad rough scored him in the high 150's, I am so excited, this is the biggest buck I have seen from my deer stand and was lucky enough to get close enough to stick and arrow in it, Tracy

"I harvested this whitetail buck on 11/25/01 in Kansas. This is my first whitetail harvest with a bow. I used a PSE Nova Bow, set at 36 pounds, with carbon arrows tipped with 75 grain Muzzy broadheads. He only ran about 100 yards. It was a hunting day I will never forget!"

I harvested this buck in 2001 on our lease in Glendale Texas. This was only my second year to bow hunt. He approached my tree stand from the backside and was quartering away from me. I had to turn halfway around to take the 10 yard shot and since the arrow went through the heart, he only went approximately 40 yards and dropped.

5 point buck harvested at Brenda Valentine's Bowhunting School (9/30/01 Puryear, TN)

Trophy Squirrel harvested 11/25/01 Willard, MO

"I was hunting from a tree stand when I took my my Wyoming Elk, first one ever! 10 yard shot he went only 75 yards!"

He was taken in Wyoming in 2001, My first Mule deer, Gross Pope and Young score was 140 inches, it was a 15 yard shot. I was tree-stand hunting along side of a alfalfa field.

I took this typical whitetail on the morning of Oct 6, 2001. He came into a decoy for a 10 yard shot. It weighed 220lbs field dressed and scored 134 1/8 P&Y although it had over 14 inches of deductions. I used a Bill Stewart custom compound bow at about 45 lbs, using no sights or releases. A bear razorhead did the job as it only ran about 100 yds before going down. You'll notice I have a cedar branch in his mouth. It is to honor the buck in the European way of giving him his last meal.

My 2000 WI buck scored 139 2/8ths Pope & Young inches

My MN buck 210 lbs. 132 2/8ths inches Pope & Young

Pope & Young world record Quebec Labrador Caribou I took in 1984. It is still standing as the world record with a score of 434. My bow was a St. Charles Buckskin compound set at about 45lbs.
