Next week he becomes a deer hunter....he did it again!!! Update pg.33...

Good stuff fellas. Noah just took both classes this weekend and I really am in shock still. The most vivid memory of my life is the second he was put in my hands at birth and now here we are 12 years and a lot of living later. Where does the time go???

       Curt, it took me a second to figure out who that dark haired fella in the early pics was. You look at my early pics and youd see a different head of hair as well.

       Good luck to you fellas, its been a ride watching the transformation from a boy to a man. Congrats Cade on your hunter ed. Kill a buck and I know of a taxidermist down your way who will mount it for free.

What an awesome life story Curt! I know you must be so proud of Cade. I for one are proud to know you through Trad Gang. You are an awesome father. Good Luck Cade!!

What impresses me the most is the attention to detail that has been taken.  The tracking events, the first shots with a bow, the first hero pics, and most of all the foresight to document it all.  Cade has no idea what this is going to mean to him twenty years from now.  He will be one proud man.


For now, however, he should be content being one lucky, happy little boy with a ton of adventure at his doorstep.

Great documentation of coming of age (age to hunt)

Gotta admit.....the story and pics got me a bit choked up. Thanks for taking us along all these years with you Curt....makes me wanna do more with my kids.

Cade....enjoy this season for everything it offers. There really is nothing like the first. We're all rootin' for you!

[Trumpkin the Dwarf]

Curt & Cade, Totally awesome story. You guys have worked hard and I know its going to pay off big time! Both of you have alot to be proud of.

Just a great pictorial and reminder of what we are put on this earth to do as a father, ambassador, teacher, friend, etc.  I can't wait to get home to put some ladder stands together with my 6 and 2 year old sons this evening.  Thank you Curt for sharing this with all of us.  I will be looking North East to the clouds the morning of Oct 1st down in TN, I bet if I look hard enough I will find clouds that will resemble one of the great pics with Curt and Cade smiling big over a big ol slick head, a juice box, a stickbow, and a feathered shaft.

[Big Lefty]

Definitely one of the neatest threads I've read.  I will be following along and rooting for him!

I wish Guru was my daddy!  8-)

Great job Curt ... The dynamic duo, nothing will be safe in the woods. I have really enjoyed all of Cade's adventures and look forward to reading many many more.  

Good luck on the opener

I was gettin all choaked up, I could hear Kenny rogers singin "through the Years" as I was reading this post.  Good Luck Cade.  Curt, this  is great to see, its awesome!!!

[J. Cook]

Very inspiring Curt!!!  For all of us with younger sons that are shooting already, this is a great road map to follow!!!!  My son will turn 5 this December and has been shooting now nearly a year with his Black Rhino long bow I got him for Christmas.  I can only hope to share the same kind of memories you and Cade have!!!!

Good luck on the 1st!!!
