Birthday Surprise

JackP · May 04, 2009, 11:56:00 AM

Today is my birthday and my Dad told me something that is will make me ecstatic all the way up until the bowhunting season.

My Dad has never bowhunted before, he has actually only deer hunted twice. He has only shot a bow with me a few times. We do go rabbit hunting during the winter, but only about twice a year. My Dad and I don't get to share that father son hunting experience that I always here about.

Well back on topic, this morning my Dad told me that he has decided to give bowhunting a try this year. He says he always sees how excited I am when I shoot something with my bow or even when I don't, he sees the excitement in me when I tell him about my hunt, whether if I see a buck chasing a doe or a few squirrels coming down the tree line and coming so close that I can almost touch them, he loves to see me happy doing the one thing I love.

He will be using a compound, but that is fine with me, as long as I have him in the woods. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to talk him into a recurve in a few years.

Just thought I would share my excitement with you guys, because I love reading about everyone's excitement as well. Thanks guys.

Jack
