Good freaking grief man. I knew you had slayed a few big ones over the years but jeeeeez.

Hey wv bow hunter. I like your write up and all the pictures you posted. When we have pictures to look at from when we were young and starting to where we are now its like a timeline laid out in front of you where you can see how you have evolved into a true hunter. When I first started bow hunting I too hunted off the ground. My first buck I shot was from the ground. I hunted from a fields edge and hid in a bush. I had a small 5pt come within 7yds of me and when I shot my arrow hit a stick and deflected causing the arrow to hit his main arteries in his neck. He fell right in front of me where he had expired moments later. I will never forget this hunt as long as I live.
I have shot does, small bucks, and even some big bucks. To date my biggest is 140" and weighed 260 lbs. I now know what they mean when they say there is deer hunting and there is big buck hunting. It is as if we are talking two different sports. Now we study entry/exit routes, scout, and pick and chose stands based on the wind. We are evolving everyday we hunt and scout. I hope we never stop learning and the day i think i know it all i will hang my bow up.
By the way I live in n.e. ohio and hunt some good public land. If you ever need a place to scout or got a question hit me up. I am looking for a few good guys to hunt with. Its always good to have some motivation and competition to drive us.
