Well the 17 year dry spell was because that was the last time I went deer hunting. I got caught up in the business of a career and forgot about what great time it is to hunt.My dad recently passed away sofinding my way back to the woods remembering what we shared has been great therapy. I have met some really cool people to share it with too.

As for falling over after the shot... I must had said holy $%# 50 times in the first 10 minutes trying to calm myself down. Sitting tight in the tree for another hour was the best advice I could have gotten...lol.

Thanks guys!
