Thanks for sharing your story. Bet its hard for you to imagine what you ever did without bowhunting in your life before. Congrats on your first of many.

Congrats! Excellent story. I've taken deer from tree stands, but not from the ground yet. I keep thinking I'll try that, but I still love the view from a tree. You are officially hooked now, my friend. Welcome aboard!

Beautiful. I think I aged reading the detailed history of your progress and life unfolding. What a neat, neat tribute to "those who've gone before you"...and such a cool name for your bow.

Congratulations. May your "flame" burn brightly for many years to come!

I can't say I've ever read a better tale.

Your story telling abilities are certainly showcased with this one.

Thank you for sharing not only the hunt but it's heartfelt meaning for you with us.

Congratulations!!

You have some good friends and good hunting buddies to make the effort to allow you the chance.

God bless,Mudd

Congratulations and a very well told story!!!  I really enjoyed it and it brought many of my own emotions about hunting to the surface.  May you have many more such experiences in the future.
