1st buck returned after 8 years
 

After an 8 year period my first mount from my first white tail buck I shot with a bow was finally returned to me. I shot this buck I 1998. The first year I could really get into bow hunting. I got married in 1999 and divorced about a year and a half later. It was a very messy seperation for only being married a short time with no kids. Anyway this rack was one of the items that "was lost". I had moved to an apartment and figured I would get it later. It didn't happen.

So fast forward to Tuesday. I am sitting in my office at work and I get a phone to telling me that I have a package for me in the shipping department. That happends all the time. So I drive around and get the package and put it in my truck. I had kind of forgot about it until I stopped at my cabin to pick up a load of wood to bring home on thursday. I look in the back and there is this box. I bring it into the cabin and I figure I better see what it is. I open it up and and there was a note on top of the peanuts and said " I thought you might want this back, Sorry". So I reach in and there it was, the first buck I shot with a bow. I thoughtI would never see it again. I know it isn't the biggest butit sure meant a lot to me. I thought I would share this with the rest of my bowhunting family. I have added a pic with my boys who are 4 and 6. They wanted to see their pic posted.For those of you keeping a time line I adopted my boys a couple years ago.

I still see her mother a lot. She is widowed so i make sure I send some of my maint. guys over to cut lawn and shovel snow. She is a very nice lady and I have no hard feelings against her daughter. Don't worry I will write a thank you note.
