Superb rendition of an excellent experience in the woods!! I appreciate your persistence to focus on the experience of ALL OF IT not just the deer and the kill.

I was thinking this morning about how TV hunting shows have shaped the mind sets of hunters now days. They use the same phrases, gestures, etc. and in my opinion something very valuable has been lost. Your writing captures that which has been lost.

Keep writing this way so that others will be reminded to never lose the best things about hunting which are embodied in the traditional way. Bravo Sir!!

You folks are too kind. I really do appreciate all your encouragement and comments. I am soon to begin the journey of writing a book composed of short stories. Since it has been such a part of who I am, even from a very young age, these adventures will have a traditional bowhunting slant. Of course, it is all the little details of both archery and hunting that have always mystified, enthralled, and befuddled me. I strive to include these details in my writing.

Thanks for taking us along on that hunt. I really enjoyed sitting with you under that tree. You wrote it so well, I'm sure I heard the Wren buzzing at you. The buck was a nice finish, but the experience was grand.

That book should be a winner judging by your postings here.
Good luck.

This is the best story that I have read in a long while. I had to read it to my husband, and he enjoyed it as well. Being a public land hunter, I appreciate what it took to connect with this wonderful deer. You are an excellent storyteller, and I thoroughly enjoyed your relationship with the land, critters and the language.

I will have to look up more of your posts, and see what else I have missed!

I will be posting the story of a recent hog hunt shortly. May be a couple of weeks yet as I am  hunting pretty much everyday.
