18 months of trad
« on: February 28, 2011, 10:23:00 PM »
Eighteen months ago I made the decision to lengthen my bow and my enjoyment of it.  After almost 20 years with a compound, I no longer owned one.

Here is a short recap of my travels with my widow...

Northern California
         

Southern California
       

           

Arizona 2010
       
       

     

Kodiak Alaska
     
 
           

Time flies when you're having fun.

Wow, great shots! Incredible scenery. There is just something different about the "traditional" mind set. Very gratifying.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Thanks guys!  It can't be possible to have more fun than I have the last 18 months.  But I'll do my best to test that theory.

Up next public land birds and some Tejon hogs!
