Thanks......it was a long haul but I'm seeing progress everyday. Still have a ways to go but I'm shooting, taking walks and getting stronger.   :thumbsup:

Sounds like a perfect therapy session!!!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

You're humble, Ken!  Anyone who has had the pleasure of shooting with these three knows they ain't blind and are usually on their game!

Glad to see you all got out again!

Hey Ron- We still can't top that 50+ yard shot you made at the Rockwood stump shoot.

Well we did it again......for the 3rd week in a row weather was mild [45 degrees] and no snow so a'stumping we will go. Spent 3 hours making some great shots and missing some easy ones. Just a great day in December walking in the woods with a bow in hand.

Ron... are those Beech leaves I see all around ?  Why are they not still on the trees ?  My beeches up in da UP seem to hold their leaves (or many of them at least) till near spring.

Glad you are able to get out.  Keeps a man sane.

ChuckC, it seems to be a wind thing. If they see wind a lot......they come down. If they are protected at all they stay on till the new one pushes it off in the spring.......lol
