I was just thinking about my season and I realized that I need to quit my whining. I was depressed about not shooting a big buck this year and then it dawned on me....I have seen 36 deer on stand this year, which is low for me, but out of those 36 deer, 24 were different bucks!!! I passed on 8 of them and killed 4 deer total with the bow.. After this realization....I will not complain anymore....thank you Lord for your blessings!!!!
Amen!!! I want a monster too...but am thankful for the gr8 season I have had. My own fault too...I saw Chuck Adams at the IA bowhunters banquet as the guest speaker and he saqid that he kills big stuff cause he sets his sites high. I also asked him if his wife complains about all of his hunting. He said,"NO...I am not married." I said, "Well, now we know why you always have a huge smile on your face." The guys all laughed, but the women in the crowd didn't laugh much.[8D]
Come to mention, my grins are huge now too..single life is rockin' for me.
Best hunting in my life this year and having lots of fun, my wallet hurts my butt to sit on it as no one is bleeding it dry with fake hair extensions, fake hair color salon treatments, fake breast, tummy tuck, arm fat surgery reduction payments, toenails painted and fingernail salon fees weekly, a 5 yr old stepkid that received no child suport so I had to support him, and the lists go on. Not to mention the lies, cheating, and deceit I got from the ex. Yep...God blessed me and does so everyday. Big deal..I didn't get a 200" trophy on the ground(I still have a MO buck archerytag), I have my life back, Jesus as my best friend, and my sanity.
