Awesome brother, well done! Man that feller is sure growing. I'm with VTer: It's fun watching these young men grow up through Tradgang. From the looks of it, it won't be long before there'll be another Cabrera name on a Muzzy trophy and you'll be needing more wall space for his racks and fans.

Teach yer kids to hunt and you'll never have to hunt yer kids.

"Teach yer kids to hunt and you`ll never have to hunt yer kids"

JC is right. It`s a simple statement, but true.

Great job on all accounts.

What a way to spend a saturday!!!

Great photos Curt....Cade looks right at home carrying that little longbow of his...  :thumbsup:

The snow is about half gone around home and my daughter and I went out shed hunting this afternoon.  We found one small 3 pointer with some realy nice character to it.    :goldtooth:  

Take care buddy.......Tim

Big Ed built a great bow just like Cades for Billy JR. last summer-He does some nice work and is very generous to the little Guys.

Looks like you and Cade had a great outing Guru.
This bond between the two of you will last a life time. Reminds me of Dad and I growing up.

Dad and Myself shared that bow shoot today-the one I was telling you about with my two oldest boys Billy and Ben. Brother inlaw Eric and nephew Johnny were also there. These are very special times.

Thank you for sharing Guru and Cade!!!

Great adventure for you both as always Curt!  These are the best days of your lives for sure, but they do disappear before you know it.  So many people these days get all caught up in so many different things that I think they miss out on opportunities like you have and can never get them back.  
You are teaching great lessons to your kids on the outings, and great lessons to parents here with your posts.   :thumbsup:
