I can't get my photos to work! This photo is the first day of bow season in 1958 I believe. Also the first Archery season for Texas. I am on the right with my buddies Don Huey who is 75 now and Julian Bently. We are in east Texas at Normangee, Texas.        I will try to get some more photos later. The bows from left to right are Bear,Pearson, and my Ben Pearson.

Photo of a bobcat in 1961 we called up while calling crows with a crow call. My buddy had shot a crow and we were looking for it and saw this cat in a tree about 30 yards from where we were calling and I walked under the tree and shot him. The bow is a Black Widow 66" and 57# at my draw.

Great pictures Ken!

You have given this middle aged archer a good feeling knowing that archery can be a part of my life for many years to come.

Happy birthday to you and I hope you have many more. Thanks for sharing.
