Hey Charlie,

Hey, I am no Myles Keller, and no, I havn' t been hunting as long as you. I am entirely honest on these boards. I have made my mistakes in the past, just like you, and I have done everything in my power to make those mistakes disappear, just like you. I have had to learn pretty much everything I know about archery hunting by myself. My grandfather and my dad both hunted archery, but, they stopped before I ever started. I have done everything by myself, well, with my bestfriend. He is in the same situation except that nobody in his family hunts or ever hunted archery. When I first started, I was making too many mistakes that I couldn' t even get close to deer with my bow, then the time came where I could get close to the deer, but, I wasn' t ready for it. That is where my two wounded deer came from. Now, I am practicing much more self control, which came from time and these learning experiences. I have become " picky" with my shots. I think that it is something that everybody goes through.

I am not claiming to be perfect, and I am not claiming that I know everything about the sport. I just say what happens to me, simple as that. Some people like that, some don' t.

I have absolutely nothing against you at all, but, I won' t sit back and let little pop shots be taken at me without the whole story being said. I have nothing to hide on here, nothing to proove, all I do is talk about hunting.

This post has just inspired me to think of a new topic......
