You Always Remember The 1st

I finally talked the cute blond in the mini skirt into going on a date with me. Not much of a date, (went with me to watch me bowl in a league) but a date that her parents let her go on anyway. Since bowling wasn't until 9 p.m. ther was just enough time for the two of us to go set in a ground blind and see if the deer would show in the clover field!
I had to set her about 15 yds. away behind a large rock and of course out come the deer! I couldn't believe I was going to get a shot and with my new girl watching besides!
As the lead doe came in at a mere 40 yds. I drew the 45# recurve back and let fly. Crack! The deer hit the ground! I bailed out of my hiding place went to the deer, finished it off, ran back to my girl gave her a big hug & kiss and....I can't believe that was 41 yrs. ago!!! I still give her that big hug and kiss everytime I make another kill with my bow to this very day!

That's just awesome Longbowman!!! Congratulations!!

I have a feeling that she gets hugged and kissed more frequently than just when you make a kill though or else she'd be spending her time with someone else...lol

I am very happy for the both of you!

Have a good and Godly day!

God bless,Mudd

PS: I don't think I could have made my 6,000th post on a better thread.

Good story and better ending. Best of luck to you but obviously you know the important things in life. Family and hunting.

Thats a geat story and ending.Way to go.

DannyBows · March 02, 2011, 04:48:00 PM

The only thing that could make that story better is if she had whipped-out her own knife and field-dressed the deer then helped drag her out.

Thats awesome! I have had some very wonderful moments in the field with my wife too.

Awesome story for sure... it always adds a little something extra when you bring a special person to the woods with you be it a friend, girlfriend, or a kid who wants a chance!

Ricky Wallace · March 02, 2011, 05:24:00 PM

Did she help clean it?? he he he,,,,great story!!

maineac · March 02, 2011, 06:29:00 PM

Great! Closest I can come to that was telling aI girl I had a date to a formal with that I was going to be hunting that day and if I had hit or killed a deer I might be a little late. She called back an hour later to let me know her cousin had just called and would be in town, so she was going to go with him. Ah well. It was one of the most memorable days of hunting I ever had, so it was worth it.
