Bow hunting, again.

[tullfan]

So after selling my bow 9 years ago to buy a rifle because we couldn’t afford not to harvest a dear. I had limited access land, gas was expensive for the old truck, we were saving for a house and I was new to bowhunting in Alberta. It was just easier at the time to buy a rifle to make sure the hunt was productive, that was all. I sold my bow to a fellow AO member and immediately regretted it, I loved my bow.
Anyway fast forward to last Sat night, my wife says out of the blue it’s time to start bow hunting again. We have our house, great careers, toys, and a much different life now. Go buy a bow. I laughed and said it’s gonna be expensive. She said here’s your budget. So with wife’s blessing a new Hoyt came home with all the trimmings. I had it set up Monday night, and shot it Tuesday night. It was like I had not stopped shooting, my old friend was back. Now my muscles are a bit sore, but I am in the bull at 20,30, and 40 consistently. Paper tuned well, walk back tuned well. Good to go. Gonna go friday night to finalize settings but come Monday, I’ll be on a decent property with good deer numbers.
I’ll post some pics, lol. Just wanted to say I’m back in the saddle and happy as a kid at xmas.
Thanks for listening,
Tullfan.

Welcome back. Wife’s blessing??? Oh no, you don’t get off the hook that easy.

Let’s talk about your penalty for treason...I vote you have to arrow, fire roast and eat one jackrabbit for each year away. No seasonings or sauces, just stinky old jack. Pics are mandatory

To be honest, I did ask why she was being so nice to me. That almost started a fight so I’m not pushing the issue.
I had to stop rabbit hunting when I met my wife(15 years) as rabbits are pets, lol. I’m not sure if we have extra hidden money, or what, but if she says do it with no issues, I’m doin it. She’s a senior financial advisor for a big bank. I think I’m good.
Pic is my first shot group of the night at 40 yards. I’m happy with the bow. A little bit more practice on my part and I’ll be back to where I was 9 years ago. I’m finding my eyes are not as good as I remember, so I’m trying to figure out wether or not to float the pin, or hold on target.
Thanks again for the support.

That's so cool, we make all sorts of sacrifices for our families and you know your doing it right when your partner sees that and rewards you for it. Awesome to hear your back flinging arrows!

Best of luck to you tullfan this fall.

I was blessed like you with my wife's best wishes and support.

We couldn't ask for much more.

Few of us know just what it means when you get the go ahead to
and do what it takes to hunt.

Some of us do and when we see the support of family behind us,
it just helps to know they if no one else understands.
It's important and it's right.

Best of luck this fall, let us know how you do.
