I've got about 7 1/2 years before I hit 70. Glad to hear there is still life after 70, lol! Congrats, Hap. Hope you have many more such adventures.

Great story!  Congratulations, and thanks for sharing with us!  You have two years on me, and I'm hoping I can make it happen again this season!     :thumbsup:

Russ (30coupe)  It's good to see you back!  I wondered where you've been!  Good luck this season at your deer sanctuary!

Thanks, Bernie. It's great to be back. I messed up my elbow and shot with wheels last year. Didn't want to be a hypocrite, so I just lurked here. Elbow healed up, so I'm sitting in my box blind with a longbow hanging in front of me at the moment. I'll post some pics of the new to me bow when I get back to the house.

You're an inspiration.... that chair appearing sort of sounded like fate.
