I'm 53 andcrotchety, but not as old a fart as davidmil.[8D]

Got my first bow when I was 3 and started 'hunting' with it when I was 6. And yes, I considerstalking cottontails in the half acre veggie garden behind the farm house 'hunting.' Big time safari for me when I was 6.

Over the years I'vebow shota few deer, more hogs andlikely severaltruckloads of cottontails, jackrabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs, raccoons, possums, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, dove, quail, duck, rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins, carp, gar, even a couple of snapping turtles... Practically all with a recurve or longbow. Never really fell in lovewith a compound for hunting. It never occurred to me to keep a running tally. Even if I had, I would've run out of fingers and toes years ago.
