This is on another site & got Tons of responses & pics. Interesting. I'll start since I have been Bowhunting 55 years (this year). Couple of my stick bow & wood arrow Deer from the 60s..

Looks like that's how I started. Doe and small bucks, but they were my trophys for the times.

I didn't bowhunt as long as you, only 35 years. Some things happened in my life (physical) that I couldn't hunt for a couple years and when I finally got my strength back I found that the old fire had burned out. Thought I'd miss it more than I do, but life holds other things for me to do. Scuba diving and 3 grandkids.

There, see? I posted on your thread. Let's see who else does.

I too have had some up & down times physically but still kept Bowhunting. I have 7 G-kids &7 5 kids with 1 G-son old enough to hunt with G-pa now & 2 of my adult children (1 boy, 1 girl).
