Thank you Terry Curt and Cade for sharing this special hunt with us! Congratulations to you all and especially to Cade for his first of what I'm sure was many hogs and for showing others young hunters it can be done with stick and string! Your a fine ambassador to this sport young man. Hats off to you!
Keeping the Faith!

A few thoughts...

Ya know, when you start planning a trip like, especially this one as it was Cade's first hunt away from home, there are so,so many things to be concerned about...

Getting his bow set-up just right to maximize what he physically capable of.

Packing  for two...I knew what I needed, but getting it right for him was the challenge.


Weather...I watched it like a dog for 2 weeks prior and the closer we got to leaving, it was getting obvious that the forecast was great for our hunt days...but how would the heavy rain for days before our arrival effect our hunt?


He was nervous to fly...I usually don't sweat it...but this time I was with him!

Then of course you hope the hunting will be good. I know Terry wanted the same as me, we always hope it'll be as good as possible...but especially this time for Cade.

So many other little details that could have negatively effected our trip....so, so many!

But...against all odds that everything would go "perfect"....it did!

•  

Over the years, I've been fortunate to participate in many hunts with great friends old and new, probably more than I deserve....but this hunt will always be "The One".....

Words will never be enough to express how I'll be forever indebted to Terry for all of this...luv ya brother!

Good fortune was smiling on all of you for this hunt.

Congrats to Cade on his first kill of species.  I have liked getting my coffee and sitting down to follow the blow by blow of your hunt.

Guru the summary towards the end was well said. What bow arrow/bh combo were you and Terry using? Not sure if that was mentioned or I may have missed it along the way.

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to post the story, very enjoyable.

Cheers Macca.

Cade, congratulations young man!

Curt and Terry, congrats to you both as well and thanks for taking me along! Great story and good job making a great hunt for Cade!

Told my wife about the underwear and the hydrolics, she just shook her head and laughed. Said it reminded her about a hunt I took our son on when he was 3. She asked how it went and he replied "Grandpa missed (an antelope) and I pooped in a hole". That says it all...
