I never get tired of good wishes (especially about lasting longer   ;) - 74 years now ), Dano my friend, so thanks for posting it - and thank all you other good friends also. Rudy gave me a call a few minutes ago, and said he saw this, so I figured I'd better check it out. It is, as Dano said, tomorrow (19th) and if all goes well I will be out in the afternoon trying to get my first ever Birthday deer (again). Maybe this will be the magic year -   :D  . I did finally get one on my "alternate" birthday (the US Marine Corps Birthday, 10 Nov), a few years back.

Thanks again to all - and bless your hearts.

LOL - I love that picture of Dano and I - shooting the Iron Man at ATAR with you and Bill Pearce and the memories it brings back of all our good times, Chuck. That was arguably one of the toughest shots of the ten and both Dano and I hit that one (one of our few - LOL). Story of my archery history - perhaps I should start only taking the tough shots when hunting - instead of never taking them - LOL. Naw - I just wasn't brought up thet-a-way, and couldn't bring myself to try it at this late date.  :goldtooth:

So good to hear from you too, Harl, and thank you.

Bless you all. Gonna go get ready to head up the road to Don's now. It has turned out to be a bluebird day (our first in a number of days) which may not be the best for hunting but is certainly good for an ol' duffer to sit in a tree in the cold -   :archer:

I am so blessed with friends and good wishes/sentiments that it really doesn't matter that I didn't even get to see a deer yesterday. Thank you all so much (I love that picture too, Killie). It was still a pretty day to be out there, though a tad windy/cold and a long sit. I did see a couple tree rats, 1 Fox Squirrel (the black ones) and a big ol' Hoot Owl. The owl was talking up a storm and was answered by a couple others while trying to zero in on a tree rat, and flew up into a tree right near me. Funny, as it was bright daylight, yet it sounded like Spring breeding season. I chose to think they were also wishing me a Happy Birthday   ;)  .

We (Rose and I) have a very special local friend, who is a nurse and a beautiful person inside and out. She called me last night and while she is NOT a hunter she had the right slant on it:
"Bernie, I am so glad you got to hunt on your Birthday and enjoyed it. It is good you didn't get a deer because that means you will have to try again next year - and many more. I truly hope and pray that you will have at least 30 more to try."
She is such a loving and considerate person! (She should be an archer and a tradganger too.)

Bless you all, bless us all.    :archer:
