Nice pic HCH. Congratulations to him. I had a similar joy last saturday when I stood beside my dad as he took a deer after a 5yr dry spell (Not much time off from work). I could not have been happier if it was me myself. Perfect heart shot. The ol' man still has it.
Jeff, I agree with you. I have been bowhunting for 9 years. I started in college when some friends encouraged me. I had been shooting a bow since about age 8 but never archery hunted. I too have learned a TON from the people on this forum. And I keep learning things every day through our discussions here. A wise man once told me to never stop learning, and I try to live my life that way. People who know me say i'm full of all kinds of useless knowledge but it is because I just want to learn as much as I can about everything I can. Jeff i'm sure you've heard people talk about the different phases of a hunter, well I think you just entered another one of those phases with your post.
Congratulations buddy.
