RE: Turning points in your hunting career?
When I started bowhunting. I was hooked from day 1 and have never even considered rifle hunting since.
My first Pope and Young eligible deer. Realized how much more fun/challenging it was to target a specific deer that is a little smarter than the average deer in the woods.
My 3 day late recovery on a Pope and Young eligible deer due to poor shot selection on my part. I took solemn oath to self to neverlet size of horns,desire tomeetgoals, or anythingtempt me totake low % shot again. (slight quartering to)
My first bow elk after 4 years of hard hunting and lots of self education and stupid mistakes.
Introducing bowhunting to someone new each of the last two years and sharing their first hunts, theirsuccesses, as well as their failures.
