Default RE: How did you get hooked on bowhunting

I had a very good friend that I worked with around 8 years ago, that talked me into shooting his bow one day after work, this gentlemen was kind enough to take time after work each day after that to let me use his bow for practice till mine came in, since I was HOOKED... He also took me on my first bowhunt, whick was just south of Texarkana, Tx by Wright patman lake.. I didnt get one, but I learned alot from that friend over the years. To repay him for his kindness I was able to take him some years later to my South Texas deer lease and give him a chance to harvest his first buck, as things went nothing was getting close to the set-up I had prepared for him, so he picked up his rifle, with the sun just coming up , out in the wheat field stood a nice looking buck and I gave him the go ahead. John had took his first buck deer ever it was a Nice 8pt with a 22 inch inside spread, I still cherish the look on his face as if his dreams had come true......

Shortly after that , my friend John moved to Northern Arkansas and was having a rough time with life and family and we simply lost touch, Man not a day go's by when I have bow in hand that I'm not very thankful for him taking the time to get me started flinging arrows.

Thanks Big John,..,
