What did you learn this year?

[Gooserbat]

I learned that I don't need training weels to kill a deer with a bow.

[Ragnarok Forge]

I learned that watching your wife get spitting close to a bull elk is the most fun a guy can have.  It is even better when they suprise each other and you can't figure out which one is more scared. Priceless!

I learned that the best things in life are done with your wife / kids / family / friends.

I learned to be more selective in who I hunt with.  It is down to the wife, and one Iraq battle buddy now.

I learned not to tell anyone I wouldn't hunt with right next to me anything about where I hunt.  

I learned that trad hunting is the only way to go.  No wheels ever again. I had my best hunting season ever and did't kill a single big game animal.

[elknutz]

I learned if you look closely you can see part of a beautiful setter in a picture from Utah.  I tried to get mine to look, but she wasn't interested.

that I am not invincible.

[just_a_hunter]

I learned that while hunting is among the greatest feelings in the world I can or ever will experience, a woman that looks you in the eye's and tells you she loves you and means it is the greatest feeling in the world. Followed closely by that same woman telling you that you're going to be a dad. That's a pretty good feeling too..

[Brian Krebs]

If your not getting smarter; your getting dumber- and age does not change that.

 How to make lemons into lemonade.

That when my grandson said about a bear that came into the bait " Grampa- that bear was smart- real smart; I had no idea that any animal could be that smart!"  - that it doesn't matter he didn't get a shot at it.

 That given a just a few minutes; my dog Attie can open my oven; take out a hot turkey; and share it with her pups - stuffing and all.

 That I cannot put off getting my knee fixed another year.

 That I still love seeing deer; hearing elk; and shooting my bow.

[Biggie Hoffman]

I learned that a match is an excellent catalyst for black powder.

I learned that you CAN overcook a boston butt.

I learned that you can become President even if you don't have a clue what the needs of common people are.

[Lenny Stankowitz]

I learned that in some circles, shooting and hunting with a recurve or longbow isn't enough.  You must be  "traditional."

[Mudd]

I found out I can get "almost" perfect groupings each round ...if I limit the number of arrows I shoot to one(1).

I can shooting "Robin Hoods" if my arrow hits in the right place.

There is no substitute for God, family or friends.

Tradgang with all it's members is.... just way cool!

God bless,Mudd

[HOWITZER]

I learned that deer are smarter than me!

[Randy Koleno]

Kids grow up way too fast.

 


 Getting old sucks. (but it is better than the  alternative)
 

 I really do love shooting my longbow.

[Gaff]

[Orion]

Biggie, come on, give George the benefit of the doubt.

[recurve_shooter]

When I get that sixth sense telling me to get ready, get ready NOW!!

[recurve_shooter]

Also, ladder stands with gun rails and recurves don't really go well together...

[recurve_shooter]

...and it will surprise you how high an arrow will sail after the lower limb clicks the aforementioned gun rail...  

[K2]

I learned that I shoot better with my dominant eye as I recently switched from RH to LH.  Ken

[Mark 507]

Deer are elusive little critters! Three years and counting, no shots.

[Ryan High]

That I clearly don't have enough time to hunt like I want. I need to find new hunting spots and I can't wait until my wife is out of college!

[PAPA BEAR]

i learned that its not good to get caught shootin in the house by the boss.

i learned that i need my eyes fixed.

i learned that i found my holy grail of bows (morrison)

i learned to make my own woodies but will be sticking with my 2613s
