Thanks >
I just had arthroscopic knee surgery on Wednesday April 20th > Physio route calls for lots of exercise and icing ... Was off crutches by Friday the 22nd and can walk straight line pretty well now (Not good on stairs yet but it's coming along) ...I'm lucky I can drive my truck within 50 yards of most of my set ups .And slipping into a nice padded turkey chair fits the bill ! Slow and steady wins the race !

Good job RJ....
Taking one with a bow makes it that much more challenging. I am considering taking a week off next year to do some serious hunting. This weekend only hunting is not getting the job done....

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Congrats boss! Glad to hear your "up and running" so to speak.
Gorgeous bird! I'm hoping my first season plays out also.

Some amazing photos of the action! So very glad to see you're able to get out and about so soon after the surgery. Congrats on the gorgeous xbow tom! Enjoy chasing those thunder chickens and filling tag #2!
