Born in '62 and had my 1st bow( a shakespeare recurve 45#) as a Xmas present when I was 13 or 14. Killed my 1st deer, a doe, at 15. Taken a doe or a small buck almost every year ever since I began. Got totally consumed with bowhunting 5years ago. Sold the duck boat, decoys, gave up field goose hunting, bird dogs are gone, no more pheasant hunting, no muzzleloading, no high power hunting(an occasional predator)....no hunting except with a bow. It is my passion and the other hunting got in the way.
