It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Hope you enjoy it.  I find it nice during hunting season, but boring otherwise.   :bigsmyl:

Congratulations on your retirement! Enjoy it. The only problem often is that extra time on your hands is taken up with medical appointments. Stay in shape and go for it. Let us know how it goes. Pictures will be appreciated.

Congrats on the retirement. It’s good to do it while you still have good health. Ive been retired 3 1/2 years hopefully this year I’ll finish up my honey do list.

First off- thanks for your service. I retired this past sept. one day before bow season opened and hunted 35 days this fall. Previously I was lucky to hunt 6 or 7 days a year, quite an eye opener when you go when you want vs when you might get vacation. Enjoy as you've earned it. :clapper:

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Congratulations Blake!

You now have the time, enjoy it and get in as many hunts as you can while you are healthy.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I just retired a few months ago. Got to hunt a lot more this fall.  Now I'm looking at this year and wondering how I have time to do everything. As a retired general contractor, I agreed to help a good past customer's sons build a hunting cabin on their property. So I'll be busy with that in a month or so.
I'm headed to Texas in March for some javelina hunting. Then turkey season opens mid April, then the Tennessee Classic followed by headed to Mississippi a couple weeks later for the Jerry Pierce Memorial shoot. In June I'll go to Cloverdale and then Compton and
then we have our state bowhunter rendezvous. Vacation in July with wife's family. Another shoot in August, camping trip for scouting in KY. September 15th opens deer season with a week in KY with friends hunting. Deer season is in full swing then and soon another year is gone. And I have to find time for fishing in there.
