He's an archer poker player. Suckers you in thinking you got him beat. Then he spanks you good at the end. You walk away with your head hanging down.lol

I just got home from a long weekend to find this thread. Roger called me a "Curmudgen"..I thought it was a term of endearment..    Then I Googled it. It said "an old bad tempered, difficult, cantankerous  person"

 

There might be an opening at Shrew Haven deer camp this fall....anyone interested?

[Ron LaClair]

Chuck, that "squirrel" on my leg is actually the handle of my cane with a wolf's head on it... "Lobo" LaClair..   :D

......must be able to push large curmudgeon around in a wheel chair and have an extreme dislike for fancy cigars, good bourbon and apple pie. Dishwashing skills and fire tending skills preferred.

All kidding aside I had a great time shooting the coarse with Roger and Greg, two of my good hunting buddies.(we missed you Ray) They both drove a considerable distance just so we could share the day together. I think they conspired to let the old man win and I appreciate the gesture.  

 

[Ray Lyon]

I don't believe there was a conspiracy Ron. Greg said something about a recent hand surgery, but he's always bringing up some kind of excuse.      

Wow, time flies when you're having fun. That picture is pre-second cabin construction.  It also looks like I'm holding(brown coat in middle) the prototype for the Super Shrew Little Favorite recurve. That picture is probably 10 years old and seems like yesterday.      

[Roger Norris]

I wish to heck it was a conspiracy....I was honestly trying to win!

Ron gets better under pressure, that is for sure!

Full disclosure: THEY BOTH BEAT ME. Greg is a darn good shooter, and he quietly whipped me and gave Ron a run for his money.

I have resigned myself to the fact I was whipped by a guy with a cane and a Greek Cheese Monger.

I need Cosgrove to come to more of these things, so I can finish somewhere North of last

      Here's to old guys            you young whipper snappers will get your turn in the barrel I'm sure.

[Flying Dutchman]

Well...... Old soldiers never die, do they?.....

[Roger Norris]

Old Cav Scouts just fall back and regroup....

Yesterday, when I was young

there were so many bows just waiting to be strung

so many feathered shafts to send upon the wind

I never thought the time for that would ever end

A thousand hunts I planned, I dreamed they'd be so grand

but some just slipped away like weak and shifting sand

I never seemed to have the time to make them real

now late in life it seems I've lost some of my zeal.

Yesterday, when I was young

the hills I climbed were steep, but I crested on the run

now it seems the valleys are where I prefer to be

my legs are old, no longer do they want to carry me.

Youth and strength it seemed could conquer anything

no challenge left untried, no bow I couldn't string

I gave no thought to what the future held for me

I only knew that arrows on the wind would set me free.

Yesterday, has past me by

but I still like to watch my arrows as they fly

the bows I shoot are not as heavy as before

and I don't shoot them quite as often anymore

Those hunts of years gone by, though they're in the past

I have such sweet memories, and those memories will last

So I can re live again, those Golden times back when

back when,  I was young
