Title: Our small piece of bowhunting history
Post by: LPM on April 29, 2009, 07:03:00 PM
You never know when your going to take a photo that will make you feel like you're a part of bowhunting history.  Back in 1996 I took three friends on their first Elk hunting trip to Colorado.  Chris on the left, Jim, Paul, and I'm on the far right.  Jim and Paul are brothers, Paul, has passed on.  I took this photo and doctored it to make it look "Olde Tyme".  I put words on it to describe how it makes me feel when I look at it........This post is for you Paul..............

I like it but a photo like that would make me look older than I already am!

Very special times indeed, and they will remain with you always.  

Sometimes people wonder about us when we continually come back home after trips without game in the bag.  They think the trip was a waste of time because we didn't get anything.

They are so very wrong!  You brought something back that will be with you forever!

What says it all for me is your caption; "On my last day, I'll remember these days".  Beautiful!!  Memories like that are truly priceless!

Very nice memory - Yip take lots of photos - with digital I take lots, lots and I do video too - sometimes when ppl aren't around I forget how they talked and the video is the keeper of that history.

Don't have any video of my dad - lots of stills, but I always try to remember how he spoke (very important to me)

LPM,
Your photo and the thoughts behind it resonated very strongly in my soul. Fortunately, I have a couple of pics of my dad and his last hunts with me. It usually hits me how blessed I was on the last walk out of the woods, on the last hunt of the year. I miss him alot. Thanks for sharing.
