Since 1968......this is the first year I have not made it out yet [knee rehab] may get out in a week or so[I hope]   :pray:
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

Ron, good luck with your knee. I had a total replacement in 2011 and it was the best thing I could have done. Just take your time and let it heal.

My first year was '79.  Guess that makes this my 36th.

Been a ride I wouldn't trade for anything...LOL

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

started in 1964 (have not missed a single opening day) but not a bowhunter all that time. However this is 19 years hunting solely with the bow.

I really hadn't thought about it before, but, I started hunting with a bow in 1963......52 years! I still get a thrill whenever I'm able to see and stalk any game animal...small or large with a bow and arrow. Great thread!!!  Horserod
