I love my wife and kids to death, and I would do anything for them but I FINALLY got a day to myself for the FIRST time in 4 1/2 years. My wife works weekend option and holidays as a nurse and I work the standard m-f, my kids go EVERYWHERE with me and I love it but there are things they cannot do yet that I would like to.
I put together my bow fishing for the first time in 5 1/2 years and headed out to the backwaters of the mississippi river today. It was nasty, muddy, full of ticks, Mosquitos, cottonmouths and who knows what else. It was hard hard walking to get to some pools to find some fish.
I pushed my hip waders to their limits in some crossings and my lab that won't swim was NOT happy that he had to eventually get in if he was to stay by my side.
Water clarity was about 1/4" and made hunting tough along with the low angle go the water I had so I only saw two far at my first stop, both too far out to shoot .......but I slung arrows anyways. Both misses.
