Hello everyone I just wanted to drop by to say hello to everyone and let you know that yes indeed Pa Hardwoods is alive and well. I know I have not been posting here much in the past 5-6 months. Well I have had a lot of changes in my life. Well first off my wife of 5 years (we had been together for 11) decided she would like a divorce from me back in december. Well anyone who has been through a divorce know how much a toll it takes on you. And mine is a "nice divorce" if there is such a thing. No lawyers nothing like that. Just splitting up property equally. Well of course that leads to me having to sell my house and having to move into an apartment. And then when I think I have gotten back on the right track. I end up getting laid off from my job back in March. What a nice kick in the teeth huh.

Well some good things did end up happening to me. on a chance meeting I have met a wonderful woman, who is everything I have ever wanted, and get this. When I started telling her about my archery addiction she became very interested and I now have her shooting and she loves it. So much so we have a bet that if she beats me in a vegas round I have to wear a Pink shirt and next years state championships that says "My girlfriend shoots better than me". LOL fat chance that will happen. But I must say she is a very good shot, must be her teacher huh. Oh yeah she won't let me shoot against her for the bet with my coumpound, I have to shoot my recurve while she shoots her compound.

Well anyway with all this free time I have I have resumed fishing again after a 5 year layoff and have been doing a lot of turkey hunting here in PA, Or should I say taking naps in the woods. I don't know what it is the turkeys in my area are kicking my butt. They are very quiet and I have honestly have yet to see one. Many days I have not heard a single bird. I know theyused to bethere, I saw them all fall,and I know my calling is not that darn bad. I am suspecting there may be some coyotes roaming the property I hunt due to a dead deer carcass I found opening day. And to add some excitement to it I decided to hunt them this year with my 46# Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve. Well atleast I'm getting a lot of stump shooting practice in. LOL

Well everyone I just wanted to stop by and say hi, and I promise i'll post more. Take care and God Bless.
