Only minutes into opening day, August 25, Mike and I watched several antelope does walk over the ridge toward our water hole and drink less than 5 yards from our blind. What an awesome experience! Not long after, a nice buck followed suit. It didn’t take long for the buck to reach the spring after watching his does safely drink. A perfect shot from my new 2007 BowTech Tribute with a razor sharp 100 grain Shuttle-T broadheads quickly ended my Idaho general season archery antelope hunt. A short two hours later my hunting partner Mike punched a hole through his goat with a perfect 42 yard shot using his BowTech Extreme Solo-Cam.

After a 9 yard shot, Mike’s 5×5 bull only traveled 20 yards before falling on September 12. Mike’s incredible hunting instincts, calling techniques and positioning were the keys to his success. On Deptember 27, Mike helped call in my Idaho 5×5 bull to 18 yards where I drove another Shuttle-T through the boiler room with my 2007 Tribute.

The BowTech tri-fecta was complete after Mike and I both harvested two nice Idaho mule deer. My Tribute and Shuttle-T combination again worked to perfection with another complete 30 yard pass through shot on my 4×5 buck on November 26. Mike also completed his BowTech tri-fecta with a great 30 yard shot on this mature 3×3 muley the next day.
