RE: Transformation
Having had some extensive experience with the 'other' group, Let me see ......
STEP 1:
We admitted we were powerless over Archery, and that our marriages had become unmanagable.
STEP2:
Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves controlled our destiny.
STEP3:
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the big 8 point running around the backyard.
STEP4:
Took a searching and fearless moral inventory of our Archery apparatus, then went to Walmart.
STEP5:
Admitted to God, ourselves, and our spouses just how much we charged at Walmart.
STEP6:
Were entirely ready to have our spouses remove all of the items we bought.
STEP7:
Humbly asked our spouses not to make us sleep on the couch.
STEP8:
Made a list of all the trophy hunting areas within a 1000 miles of our home.
STEP9:
Made direct plans to attend each of these places whenever possible, except when to do so would conflict with the rut in another place.
STEP10:
Continued to take archery inventory, and when something was missing, promptly replaced it with the lastest technology available.
STEP11:
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our luck with the 8 point in the backyard, praying only for knowledge of his whereabouts and the power to get downwind of him.
STEP12:
Having had a spiritual awakening as the results of these steps, we try to carry this message to other hunters and practice these principles in all our affairs.
Now, just let me put a quick disclaimer on this. If you are part of the 'other' group, please, please, please, do not be offended. I only offered this as a joke. Having been a part of the other group for many a year now, I can honestly say I have the utmost respect for that organization and everything it stands for. I wouldn't have the things I have today if it were not for them. I do truely love them all as if they were brothers and sisters.
KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL.
