but the timing of the post was uncanny (hence my personalizing it....as you did).
Some of the responses were in the thread about you, but this thread was not about you. If I were in your shoes this day in age, I would have done the same thing using the internet. I am just saying I am glad that it was not an option when I was a kid. Not that I would not use it today if I were just starting out.
If I didn't set out to be "successful" in bowhunting....I don't think I'd have started.
I didn't run track or play football in school to be successful, I did it because I enjoyed it. I didn't race motocross for 10 years to be successful, I did it because I loved to ride.
If one loves something enough and has the drive and determination they will become successful with out trying to.
