That's the most impressive thing I've seen or heard in bow hunting. Period.

Kudos. That is awesome.

I think my biggest accomplishment has been surviving five near death or preceived near death encounters while bow hunting, The most recent was having a nine foot black mamba coiled up a mere 12inches fromeither of mylegs. I had just missed a 15 yard shot on a gembok while spot and stalk hunting. My focus was on the fast approaching bull. I never saw the snake and I straddled it when I came to full draw. I was hunting solo-alone with a radio. God only knows how much time I would have had. I'm lucky to be alive!
Holy mother ofa black mamba momoment bat man!!! (Or should I say cat man; nine lives and you have used up five of them). One of the most deadly, foul tempered, fastest snakes on the planet, and it is coiled between your legs??!!! A "Steve Irwin" moment for sure!

Goodness, if I had been in your shoes that serpent would have been swimming in sewage, because I would have soiled myself right then and there.

How did you get out of that predicament?

You should submityour storyto Outdoor Life's "This Happened to Me".

Mine isn't really a hunting accomplishment but more of an archery accomplishment. I have only been shooting competitive 3Dfor about 2 years as of right now. Before that I had plenty of experience as a backyard shooter/bowhunter but never really competed. I know this isn't a huge accomplishment compared to national titles, but last year with a little more than12 months of local 3D under my belt,I entered our NYS ASA State Championship 3D event and managed to take first place against some pretty good shooters from all over the northeast. I did have about 4 months of coaching work under my belt at that point,and I actually managed to beat my coach on the 3D course as well that day.



I am pretty rusty right now both indoors and out, and have some work to get back to the point I was at last summer, but I am working hard with a coach again for the first time since last August.This year will be my first competing at the national level and I will also attend several state/regional level events as well. I am pretty excited about this year and know it should be my best yet. As others have said, the only thing holding me back right now is enough time to really work as hard as I want to get better. I get 2-3 days a week to shoot right now and I really wish I had more, I am doingmy best to start making time for 4-5 daysa week of quality practice and training.

My greatest accomplishments took place this past Nov. I killed 2 bucks, onefrom Pa, my first non-typicaland the other from Alberta, my best buck yet, a decent 8pt(300lbs).I saw the biggest buck of my life and rattled in my first bucks ever, also in Alberta. It was a GREAT season for me.
