After reading thru my post about "who was there?" I came to realize that all bowhunters owe a huge thank you to those who came before us... I started bowhunting in 1990, not exactly a trail blazer ...but the guys that did it in the 1930's-70's and even the 80's had it really hard compared to today...I have seen much improvement since 1990 myself with equipment, stands, scents, knowledge, and especially herd sizes...some of the younger or newer guys may not even fathom how hard it was just to even see a deer back in those days....we all have been spoiled by a growing deer population, accept for guys in Maine and then you have Shclutzy up there in MN with few deer, but yet still gets it done...sorry had to ride his sac a moment...but let's give thanks to those who learned through trial and error when mistakes were the learning curve!!!!!!!!!Thank you gents!!!
