This is my first year bowhunting and I've never had so much fun.
I finally plunked down some cash at my local pro-Shop and got rigged up at the end of last Winter. I've been practicing since.
I took my state's bow course a few years back, but a shoulder injury and resulting surgery put things on hold.

Haven't got a deer yet this year. Missed a couple (my errors) and learned not to climb a rock maple. It's like learning how to hunt all over again, but in a different way. I figure, this year was a learning year and I learned a lot since September.

It's crazy. I'm 52, have 4 anchors and shoelaces holding my shoulder together and I'm climbing trees in the dark in this Summit contraption.
Like I said, haven't had this much fun in a while!
(And I still have a week and a half left to hunt)
