Headed to Alabama Fri. morning and hung out with Don most of the day at his store. Met Don's dad Hershel, and also met Conan "The Natural Born Killer". He's a TG member, but not sure what his handle is. But I suggest a change to "TNBK"....
Went to visit a very talented taxidermist, and then once school was done, headed to the house to meet Skyler, Tammy, and of course "The Boss" little Chloe Beth. I've known Don for a little over a year now, and after meeting his Mom Tammy, it's easy to see why he's a such a good kid....
Again, once meeting the whole Wilson family, Dad could understand why I talk so highly of my trad gang friends...
We met Don after he finished work and went out to have some real good Mexican food. Had a great meal in preparation for the main event.....a night of bowfishing!
I've bowfished a bunch, especially the last couple years with my friends Gary and Timmy. But this would be my first nighttime bowfishing outing!! After seeing what these guys shoot on the threads they have here on TG, I was really looking forward to this. After all I do kinda like to shoot stuff with my bow
To make it even better, My Dad was coming along to share our adventure!
We gathered our gear and were soon headed out...
Conan would be our captain, he's got an outstanding boat all tricked out for night bowfishing......
Skyler and I would do the shooting, Conan would drive and spot, and Don spotted and explained the why's and how's of doing this at night knowing it was my first time.....
I learned one thing real quick....them skinny little gar are hard to hit!!!
Skyler was first on the board with a good shot on a gar. I don't have a pic, so go ahead Wilson boys,you're up.....
