Congrats, Dan.

Congrats. on the 10 yr. mark and here's to many more. Just as other's have said, I wish I had more photos of earlier hunts. I have some, but as everybody knows, you can never have too many hunting pics. I have also spent more time in the woods than some of you have been alive and I can honestly say that it only gets better. Congrats again!

I honestly need to thank my dad one of these days for introducing me to the sport when he did. I've been tagging along for as long as I can remember. I went on my first archery hunt with him a year before I started hunting. I started turkey hunting when I was nine. I've been shooting a bow (recurve) since I was seven. I've been fishing since I was old enough to use those old push button poles.

As young as I may be, I've got a lot of time accumulated in the outdoors, and the majority of it has been spent with my dad. I owe a lot to him.

Shoot, I still live with him, Jeff.

I showed my appreciation this summer. I bought him a brand new bow. Its just when I think about it, I know I've never actually said thank you.

Congrat's on the 10 I'm at 26 years and some of my most vivid memories are of hunting.( I just read that makes me sound like a geezer.) [:@]

Hope you have many more great years.

Hey I'm not telling you what to do, Dan....at all. Not at all.....

BUT.....I know there are a LOT of guys who have likely put off saying things to their loved ones.....and never got to say them. I can't pinpoint a time when I left something unsaid.....but I'd give a lot to be able to say some things I didn't think of at the time.

Just take that with a grain of salt.....that's how it's intended.

I'm sure you'll have plenty more great years with pops. Congrats. You are a lucky young man.
