I will only shoot virgin doe. ....grin..

I love bow hunting and always will. But since I'm recovering from shoulder surgery, it would be nice to see this go through. One of the main reasons for having the surgery, was to be able to hunt bow season with my grandson. I may as well give up the ghost,if I can't be in the deer woods during bow season. This would give people like myself many more years of participation.

Congratulations! Way to go! Awesome gobbler and picture!

Multiple partial rotator cuff tares. Scaring with debris in the joint. Started all this in my teens after an auto accident dislocated both shoulders. Since then I've lost count on how many dislocations each shoulder has had. Doc says a minimum of 12 weeks before shooting bow. I'm hoping for 8, but will not push it if I don't feel ready. My bow is set at 53 pounds. Hope to shoot the rifle off the lead sled asap. Will go back to work after next week. Just for supervision duties. No students. Farm chores, and house chores, I got plenty of help. Will start PT next week. Then, after deer season, start all over again with the left shoulder!

Heal up this shoulder. Get back to shooting my bow. Make at least four new natural ground blinds. Move a couple ladder stands. Trigger time on my new rifle. #1 thing this year, is to be with my grandson when he shoots his first deer!

Thank you. To each and every one of you! It means alot to me. Surgery went really well! Had to do a little more than anticipated but got everything fixed and cleaned up in my right shoulder. Pain not too bad right now. Looking forward to shooting my bow, asap! Haven't been able to for awhile now. A little time and some PT and I'll be good as new! Will have the same surgery on the left shoulder after hunting season. I really appreciate all the kind words. And typing with my left hand is the real pain!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in these hardest of times. I have nothing to ease the pain you are feeling. Talk to him, he will hear. Let him know how much he's loved. Always hold him close in your heart, he will always be there for you. God bless.

Good luck with that one Tacks! Looks like an awesome crowd. Wish I could be there.

My number one thing is playing the wind. I also hunt mostly from the ground. And have for quite a few years now. I've also killed a bunch of deer after having to set a smoke down to make the shot.

While you are signing autographs, everyone else will be eating and drinking. And if you are "REAL" lucky, they might even save you some.

Way to go wooly! Congratulations! As always, nice pic's too!

I just slap the side of my upper thigh with my hand. But whatever works, it's all good!

I think Tim the tool man was patterned after some of my exploits! I've had a couple doozy's! Like the time I told my BIL, "there's no way the tree will fall on your shed"!!! .............oops.

Mowin, you are the man! And jeff, thats a very nice offer! It doesn't get much better than that! Way to go!

You absolutely found a good site. Some awesome hunters hang out here! And most all are great people to boot. You definitely want to pattern your gun with the turkey loads you will be using. Different loads will pattern differently in various guns. So you really need to see where your shot pattern is, with the set up you have.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us and decided to start your hunting career. Lots of info for you here, to help with the latest learning curve. You are not real far from me. I'm up in the Helderbergs, out side of Albany. I'll be out of commission for a bit with some surgery. But I may be able to guide you on a private land hunt towards the end of May. Trying to get my grandson his first bird too. Have you patterned yout turkey gun yet?

Sounds like a solid plan Doc. But maybe a local professional with insurance could give you a fair price. Only suggesting this because a couple of my own well planned things, would have been more cost effective to just have a pro come do it! Anyways, might be fun to film the big event!!! Just in case..........

Congratulations Grizz! Beautiful bird and great story too! All the scouting payed off nicely. Way to go!

I sometimes think, the world as a whole is going down the drain. But when you look on a smaller scale, acts of kindness can be found all around us. There have been so many right here in this forum! Teach your children well. It makes a difference. And the world will be a better place. But always keep alert to when it is not.

Big thumbs up sir!

Wow! You're amazing wooly! That is REALLY cool! Seems your talents are boundless. Keep em coming my friend! Every time you post something new, I'm saying to myself, how does he do that!!

Congratulations Pygmy! Way to go! Who says vertically challenged old guys can't get it done! .....grin.....

Kind of hard judging size from the pic. Mountain Lion????? lol....................... I just had to do it........................

I know I wasn't that good at her age. . I didn't pick up a bow until my late teens-early twenties. And I never had a coach like moog either! Miss Natalie is going to show us all how it's done! So cool to see the youngsters do so well! Moog, you are doing pretty good over there. Raising a budding Olympic archer, and Pro Bass angler!! Nice work Dad!

Nice work!! I liked everything you posted! All are very cool! Keep em coming Zem!
