2009 Dream Season--Is my bowhunting career over?
« on: December 21, 2009, 10:48:35 AM »
Here are a couple pics from this last archery season.  Not sure, may never be able to top this year--one thing for sure; I will keep trying!  Thanks to my wife for putting up with the season that never ended (and paying the taxi bill!); Thanks to my hunting partner Jack--this sport is only as fun as the guy you hunt with; we always have fun!

Nope....It's just getting started.

My first elk ever was a 290 inch Roosevelt (cascade). All that did was light the fire!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell of a season! Congrats on all 3 of them.  The best part of having a season like that is trying to beat it.

Yep it's over!! Better retire your bow and let the rest of us have a chance at some animals!! :chuckle:

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
