It's been a while

Post by Red_label-jr »

So. for the first time in 9 seasons I'll be on this wild adventure on my own. Scouting, sighting in my bow, looking for the best places to camp out, and hoping to harvest a big swamp critter.

I've always had the old man, and his pals help me out with places to sit, advice and well pretty much show me the ropes.
I'm quite sure many of you are excited for Thursday, as so am I. but I'm kind of getting a little worked up in the days up in coming.

I wish all of you the best of luck!

This ones for the old man Mikey V!

It been over 30 years since I lost my dad, but hunting alone allows me to sit quietly and remember some of the things he taught me.
That alone makes it enjoyable.

Enjoy the hunt, and enjoy the memories!

Good luck, reflect back in the moments when you are sitting, waiting for him to guide success in your direction.

Every outing in the woods is a new adventure. Hope you enjoy them to the fullest, alone or with friends.

Those that went before us are always with us.

Thanks all.

I'll keep you posted on how I do. And I hope to read alot of stories in the following weeks.

I was out at my one of my spots yesterday and came across what looks to be a bedding area and alot of foot traffic. Found a couple what I think are pretty big prints, so I'm hoping I've come across a big boy!

Same here. I work afternoons so I'll be out right after work Thursday morning.

I've not had a smile on my face or an excitement this intense for anything.
