Title: How’s it going everyone..
Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on January 07, 2023, 06:02:12 PM

Haven’t been on here in a while. Lots going on for me but all for the good. My bows have been collecting dust. I’m still in Texas for now but I bought a house in Western Colorado about a year and half ago. I have about another year before I retire and move up permanently ( my family is already living there). Anyway been doing some shooting and getting back into the groove. Going out in the morning after a doe or whatever I can get an arrow in. So I’m not dead just been on hold for a bit…

Well Covid hit and my job got crazy for a while , then we sold our house and ended up buying in Colorado, then I got a pretty bad case of Covid and that crap almost put me in the ground. Took a while to get over that business but I back and in top shape. Hopefully I’ll have something to contribute here again….

Welcome back.
I was kind of in the same boat. Haven't picked up my bows in a long time. Failed to log into Tradgang for the past year or so, but now it's time to dust off the bows and get back after it!

Well, if you’re picking your bows back up, I have no doubt we’ll be seeing pictures of dead critters pretty soon. Welcome back.

Life hits everyone, glad you're well.  Haven't shoot or hunted this year, think I still know were my bows are though.

Glad you're safe and back behind your bow.  Sounds like you had good reasons for your absence.  Seems in life we are either recovering from a hard time, going through a hard time or getting ready to go through hard time.  It's how we prepare for, go through and recover from a hard time that defines us.  Glad you came out the other end and reconnected with others like ya.  Take Care.

Thanks everyone , the move to Western Colorado is a great thing. I actually found the town we bought our house in because of tradgang , was invited on an elk hunt there from a member here. Funny how things work out..

I imagine Colorado will keep you in good shape during retirement.  Have fun, and post plenty of pictures!
