After being away from this forum for a few years while I was off adventuring, it's good to see so many names that I recognize. Says something about this site that people keep coming back. All well-wishing is most appreciated!
Even though I wasn't here, I was still bowhunting. Last year was the first year in a while that I had to resort to the bang-stick to get some venison in the freezer. I had slowed down with increasing age and a heart that was secretly clogging up, but when I retired three years ago I indulged in some wanderlust. I managed to make Montana this year, my 50th state! Bucket list: check. Back and forth across the country a couple of times with an impressive redhead (another story). Three trips to Alaska with her to one of her homes there, and in June we drove from Anchorage to Mississippi. That's a TRIP, folks! I saw Denali on a clear day before we headed back. Spent one winter in Anchorage, just for the experience. Moose, caribou, grizzly bears, black bears, Dall sheep... but no hunting. Alaska is tough for nonresidents, and all the territory this old man could reach without a guide service is reserved for resident hunters. I always managed to get back to the South for some deer hunting. I live in the woods, and the local deer population is increasing. A couple of good bucks on my cameras. Does under my apple trees every night. Come on, October! Enough rambling. I think I'll go drop the price on my arrow shaft ad and see if I can get some of them in good hands. Enjoy life, people, it may be shorter than you think!
