I've been bowhunting 20 years as of last season. The only break I've had was five years when I lived in Southern California when in the Marine Corps. I started at 12 and killed my first bow deer (3pt) when I was 15. After that, I've killed at least several deer with my bow each year (minus Marine Corps time). This past season I took two does but it was the first year I have not killed a buck with my bow since I was 15. Hunting the Adirondack Mts. in New York (where I now live) is a VERY different ball game than hunting either downstate or the midwest (where I grew up).

This will be my 51st post, will I finally be a SPIKE ????? Hang on, I'll hit OK to post the thread and we shall see...
