Good job there rost,
Excellent buck and as a traditional archer (like you when I can find the time to stay in practice) I congratulate you on your self imposed limits even with a crossbow. I have had two rotator cuff surgeries and know how hard it can be to get back into shape for drawing a bow.
Thanks for the pics and story. Love the dog work too. Don't feel too bad about having to leash him, better to keep him safe and the other critters he might run also.
