Congrats to your Dad. I too am in those down hill side of life years-I turned 68 in Nov "IN" a Deer Stand with my 36 yr. old Daughter. I have a Son, 35 also that Bowhunts. I passed on several deer this year while Bowhunting with my Daughter-she has YET to draw her bow on anything. Bowhunting together is more enjoyable to me than me getting a shot though I'm not to shabby at that after 53 years of Bowhunting. Shot 2 deer in Iowa & 2 Hogs in Ok. last year.
I plan on taking BOTH on a out of state Bowhunt this year.

Anyway-Congrats & we all miss, no matter how good or how old-that's the part of Bowhunting we all experience one time or another....
