Father time
« on: September 23, 2020, 12:39:00 AM »
The last time I hunted with my longbow
Was 17years ago. I had touch of cancer
a couple years ago and alot has changed.
I want to get back to it now although I'm a
bit weaker than before I don't know how many
seasons I have left. I just wanted to say hello
again it's nice to see all the familar names.

O Bowhunter
 
Be proud while you can, O Bowhunter,
While the skill and wit are yours,
Combined with youth's strong vigor,
Or Age's canny ways.

Be proud while you can, O Bowhunter,
And send your arrow true,
Deep into the heart of the greatest beast,
That rules in the frosty pines.

Be proud while you can, O Bowhunter,
For this year you still strike fear.
Remember that the fire grows cold,
Though hot it once began.

Be proud while you can, O Bowhunter,
For life, too, plays the game.
And one day the arrow comes for you,
And takes its prize the same.

J.I. Thomas F.
HE made me into a polished arrow & concealed me in HIS quiver. Isaiah 49:2

Hang in there. Get a kill under your belt again,and you'll get back into it. There's all sorts of threads of lower poundage bows killing deer,if you've gotten weaker.

Stickman, I'm 76 ( :scared:--did I really say that) and have had to make quite a few changes in what I can and can't do any more.  But actually none of us know how many seasons we have left.  That's why it's important to remember the things that really matter--family, faith, friends, and enjoyable times in God's beautiful creation. I hope you have a blessed season and enjoy it like never before.  :thumbsup:
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Enjoy your time back to trad hunting and create some new memories, but spend a little time looking back to enjoy old ones as well. It helps keep the fire burning and the old man out.

Moving a bit slower isn't necessarily a bad thing, just keep the wind in your face and good luck to ya.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good
