Tim and all others- I’m sorry I couldn’t make the Mich Trad Bowhunters banquet. Thank you for the prayers for my family, and your understanding. I’m also grateful to Darryl for stepping in as the speaker. I hope to see you all down the trail. Thanks, Mike

Mike, no appologies needed.  Your family is more important and we will continue to keep them in our prayers.  Take care buddy and I am sure we will see you around this summer.

Mike, like the guys said, no need for apologies. I bought one of the books as soon as Steve O came through the door with them and I started reading it right then as I sat at the door taking tickets. When I got home I was so tired but I made a pot of coffee and read until 7am!  :D  
I read books in a very strange way....I have to have a good hot cup of coffee to sip between pages, and I have to read slow and often re-read stuff. If a book is REAL GOOD it will cause me to start reflecting to my past hunts and experiences and the next thing I know, I have read a few pages and don't remember what was written as I am lost in thought with my memories. This book must be REAL,REAL GOOD because I keep doing a lot of re-reading!  :thumbsup:

Mike,
     You and your family are absolutely in our prayers. Ditto to what Jim and others have said, no need for apologies, per the MTB banquet. We're like one big family, and when one hurts we all do.
   Mike Deppe offered up a prayer for you and your family at the banquet. It was a very special moment, and we all feel for you.
   I'm also reading  your book, and I can't put it down. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us...very inspiring.--Don McKellar

Thank you all for being so understanding. I’m glad most are enjoying my book and starting to share it with their friends.
We worked out a few bugs on the brothersofthebow.com site by making it appear that the book price for overseas delivery is $40, but in reality the book is still only  $30 but we had to fake out PayPal so that the total cost for book and S&H for overseas shipping will be consistent with international first class. I’m glad to see that Ben Kleinig placed an order from Australia that will go out tomorrow. Thanks Ben, and all others for your trust. I hope you can experience at least some stirring in your soul while reading this tribute to my life’s passions. Mike

Mike,
So sorry to hear of your challenges of last week. You and Paula are still in my prayers, and I hope things look a bit better by now.

Do you know if it looks like you'll be able to come to the UBI banquet this weekend, or will you need to hold off on that, as well?  I was hoping to bring a couple friends to your seminar.

Very best wishes,

Daryl

Mike,
I was able to secure a copy from Gene in Texas and have devoured a 1/3 of it already. Great read by the way. On a different note you and your family are in my prayers, hang in there & don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.   :archer:

My favorite part so far is "Thirteen days of nocked arrows".  I think all of us can absolutely relate to that feeling when you decide it is time to nock an arrow. Loved it.

Daryl - I’m going to have to play it day by day as far as UBI. I hope if you get your friends to go they will enjoy themselves whether I’m there or not… don’t forget Monty will be there. Ha!

Beachbowhunter- In some chapters I explain how I found reward even in failure, but in “Thirteen Days of Nocked Arrows” I try to, not so subtly, redefine success many times. Successful bowhunting does not always end in the classic sense with a dead buck or bull. Ha! I’m glad you are enjoying it. We are blessed, Mike

I will not be able to make my speaking engagement at the United Bowhunters of Illinois banquet due to my wife's illness. I have already called Jim Ellis. I hope you will all have a great time, and thank you for your support. Mike

Mike,

Sorry to hear of the continuing challenges you face in your family.  We'll miss seeing you, but I applaud your clear priorities!  Give our best to Paula, please!  

Blessings to you,

Markus- There is special "Mitten Family" stamp and a number on the title page. I did personalize a few books with Special "Herdbull" copie as well. However, nearly all books sold so far have been autographed by me. Thanks again guys, you're a special bunch. Mike
