Rob, I agree w/ you on that one 100%. When I shot my buck this year, I had more fun sharing it w/ some of the guys here than I can even say. It really does add to the experience, and friends are friends, irregardless of how they're made.....Nes pas?
I know I called Rob when I shot my '06 8 pointer.....as I was walking up on him. It was magical to share that experience (my first 8 pointer....and the first deer I knew I was going to have mounted) with a friend.
I've also called my friends after days when NOTHING was harvested....nor the bow even reached for. Again...."magical" to share with people who "get it".
One of the most satisfying things I receive from bowhunting......is the calls I receive from my friends when THEY have experienced something similar. It's BETTER than when it happens to you.
Hard to explain.....but I'd miss this a LOT.....if it didn't happen.
Thanks for the call, Gary.
