atlasman, as a long-time poster on here (going on three years now, geesh!
), let me say emphatically that this single thread has probably every single element of what I would propose as the model for telling a successful bowhunting story!! No kidding, I've posted thousands and thousands (and losts hundreds <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> ) and read thousands more, and this has got to be the best I've ever read. (Frank, Matt, could one of you guys dig out the old HRAOP? That's Honorary Rack Award for Outstanding Post award for you guys who weren't here in "the day."
Congratulations, kudos, and everything else I can think of to write. And thank you for restoring the spirit of what this forum used to be.
Discipline -- not desire -- determines destiny.
