Great Year

[BowArrow]

My age will roll over to 82 in two days and this pass year was another great year bow hunting. I started in 1965 hunting Fort Stewart and Blackbeard Island with a Ben Pearson bow and fiberglass arrows with Bear heads. This year I started the year with a new Bowtech SR6 bow, new arrows, QAD heads and QAD drop down rest and all of this given to me by a new friend. This adds up to about $1700 in new archery equipment. It gets even better. He has 150 acres of good deer hunting land almost in the city limits where I got two and let three get by me by making simple mistakes. He also helped drag both out to my car. He offered to put my stands up but I can still put stands and stick ladders up. If I am still around next year and can climb 20 ft up a stick ladder, I expect great things from this stand. I hunt several places from my neighborhood to 25 miles to a farm where I got two more and let let four more get by me. I hope to eliminate some of my mistakes before next year. By the way, I never ask any landowner to hunt their land and I do not use corn, camera, scents, rattle or grunt call. I give the deer their eyes, ears and nose. I was also blessed in other ways this year. In November I converted one of my bed rooms to an exercise room. I gave the bedroom suite away and put down new carpet. The flooring Company did not charge for the carpet or instillation. The lady I date gave me a Nordic Track Chair exerciser. My neighbor gave me a like new Thread Mill. It pays to have good friends. Looking forward to next year.

I took a screenshot of your post and I intend to read it from now on every time I get aggravated, let down, or a little down on my luck during deer season. You sir are a great inspiration to everyone that is an outdoorsman and loves the outdoors. Keep pushing and keep posting as the deer seasons roll on. Good luck this next deer season and thank you

You're doing pretty good. I know a bunch of young people who can't hang stands by themselves. Keep it up I think it keeps you young.
