Moose hunt canceled-GREAT NEWS!! I'm gonna be a granpa!
« on: November 04, 2007, 10:03:00 PM »
I posted a few months back about my son taking me to Alaska for a Moose hunt in '08. Well, we ain't going, 'cause he is going to be busy with his new baby...my first Grandchild! I was looking forward to the chance to hunt Moose with my bow, but being a grandpa is gonna be the best job I've ever had! Just wanted to share the news! Mike

Congrats!

Okay, I am a grandpa too - twins - and do as I have been told - make a bow for your grandchild. Working on a pair of red oak board bows. Going slow but lots o' fun.
