FINALLY Back on Tradgang!
« on: November 27, 2013, 12:14:00 PM »
After many months I'm finally back on my favorite hunting website. As some of you know I lost both of my parents this year; my Mom died January 22 of a brain injury after a fall and my Dad finally lost his battle with dementia June 22, exactly 5 months after Mom passed away. I also lost my good friend and hunting buddy Jerry Simmons to cancer this year. Jerry was a good man and great woodsman. Needless to say my family and I have been numb for many months. During this time I have been fortunate as several of my photographs have been published by some great archery magazines. Hopefully they inspire some of you to dream about your next adventure with a simple bow in hand ... life is short!

Thanks guys.  I've had a pretty good support group. The Holy Spirit comforts and enlightens me every day, plus I have a terrific wife, children, and grandkids. I managed to hunt some this fall, learned a new farm, and took a nice young buck.  I keep recalling that line from Primal Dreams, "Some feel that they're closer to God in The Cathedral of the Pines."

I camped at Land Between the Lakes the first week of November Mike. In remembrance of Dad I pitched my tent in the area where he and I cut our teeth on whitetails in the mid-70s, the Crooked Creek bottoms out Jenny Ridge road just north of Golden Pond. An image I took near camp will be on the cover of the next Trad Archers World.

Welcome back Gary. So very sorry for your losses.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I know what your going thru.....I lost my Uncle and my older brother this year. Uncle Herb got me started in bow hunting. Glad to see you back and looking forward to your photos. Keep the wind in your face.......
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
