I just read Mike's article in the latest TBM recieved yesterday. He writes as well as he hunts. It takes a big man to write from the heart the way he does, he's big in more than stature.
Thank you Sir. That was worth the yearly subscription cost, and then some.
Kenny,
I have not made it to that article yet. I try to read one every night before bed to "savor the flavor" so to speak. Then I read it all over again.
I'm looking forward to his article now.
You said it Ken. Mike writes as good or better than he hunts & that's real good. OWTW is one of my favorite books.
Great story from Mike and a very touching and personal insight into his life during a very tough time for him. I admire him for the way he has handled the grief he experienced and kept it from defeating him. Thanks, Mike! :thumbsup:
A good word to describe Mike is genuine. One of the best.
Uh oh am I gonna have to get the new issue? I thought it was the one with Ishi but I checked and I dont see Mikes article. Time to go to Wegmans and get my copy :)
It has a picture of a St. Charles Mickey Finn broadhead being sharpened on the cover.
Thanks David :)
Knowing Mike and Paula personally, seeing how they treated each other with mutual respect and affection, this article really hit home with me. Having an understanding, supportive spouse at one's side makes life's journey a whole lot more worthwhile and sweet. Coming home to a good woman and a loving family is often the best part of any hunt. Good job, Brother! I'm proud of you once again.
That is an excellent article and I commend Mike for being so open about his personal life. After reading the article I had to put the issue down just to reflect for a little while on how lucky I am for my family.
Excellent article!!
I thought it was great as well!!!
Top notch love ya man!!
Oh yes. Very touching article. I read it last night.
I don't usually text from the tree stand, but tonight I text my wife and told her how fortunate I am. After reading the article last night, well it was on my mind. Chad
Great Article indeed!!!!Thanks Mike for writting it.
I am certainly humbled by your response to this article. As you can probably tell it was very emotional for me. What may not have come out to clearly in the article, is that the mental side of bowhunting shot and archery in general is so dependent on concentration and focusing in that moment. We may not always succeed, but we can certainly revel in the challenge. Thank you all, Mike
Just finished reading the article last night. Great job, Mike. Sounds like you had a great partner and friend and I know that she will always be with you. God Bless.
Tap Tap Tap......did the mail man forget me? :confused:
Mike, as always, it's a pleasure to read your articles and share in your experiences. You are a true inspiration to us all, Keith
I just received my issue of TBM and that was the first article I read. Very touching story. Too often we (I) don't appreciate what we have. Thanks for sharing, Mike.
Funny how a story like that will make you appreciate how you have been blessed personally. Hats off to Mike for sharing this very personal story with the TG community. :campfire:
I was also very moved, I have a wife who is very supporting and we have faced the cancer battle together, the Docs said 6 months 12 years ago and by the grace of God she is still with me today.
God bless you Mike.
For me, Mr. Mitten's article was a good bowhunting story, but an even better "human" story! For those of us that have that special woman in our life; we are reminded by Mr. Mitten sharing his personal story, that we must always treasure her not knowing how much time any of us have. My heart goes out to you sir!!
very touching read for sure. enjoyed that story, and reminded me of a handful of family and friends that have dealt with that dreadful disease as well. for sure shes still with ya!
He is "The Man"! Ive been reading as much of his stuff as I can drum up and had the honor to speak to him briefly at Denton Hill. The man kills the worlds best bucks but listens to your doe stories like an excited kid. The story was big and made me pause a bit and really count my blessings.
Awesome article Mike! Very well said!!
