Hi All,

I'm thankful that God allowed me to live long enough to see the errors of my ways.

I'm thankful for a wonderful wife....I looked for nineteen years before I found her.

I'm thankful that I live in a spectacular piece of God's handiwork where I can still see the wild-ness regularly.

First and foremost my Savior, Jesus Christ and my family.

Things like this recent e-mail from my now 23 year old son really hit home:

love you lots, and cant wait to be home in a month!  thank you for
everything you do for me. and have done my whole life, youre the best
father a boy could ask for.  i really missed being able to go hunting
with you this year more than anything.  i miss you waking zach and i up
at the crack of dawn with the sound of a bugle, i missed the freezing
cold november mornings trekking around the hills of the big hole, not
wanting to get out of sight from you because i was scared of mountain
lions. i cant wait till we can do it again, and until i have kids and
they're grampa can take them hunting just like mine did.  hunting camp
with you and papa and zach are some of the best memories i will ever
have, the most vivid and i will truly cherish them forever.  i hope we
can make some new ones next season.

i love you,
Corey

Have a great Thanksgiving all.

Most of all I am thankful for family, friends, and grace to make it through this world.  

On the archery side of things I'm thankful for a Browning Wasp recurve that got this all started 16 years ago, and a great brother Christopher and wonderful friends like Charlie, Tom, Gary, and many others on TradGang that I haven't met yet.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Faith in Jesus Christ, family by my side, a home to
live in, a nation of freedoms, friends around the campfire,a cabin in the mountains, trout in the stream, long beards on the mountain and deer in the meadows....all are priceless!!!

At my age I am happy to wake up in the morning and thankful for health and family. Does that include bows and bowhunting too?
Oh yeah musn't forget the Internet.

[Ray Hammond]

My family and faith, of course, as you'd suspect, and my employers who are a fantastic bunch of guys

And then there's my passion- it's brought me lifelong bonds of friendship and cameraderie with so many great people- who through all the twists and turns of life have been there- stalwart and true. It's also taught me life lessons so invaluable in every step I've taken in and out of the woods- planning, perseverance, patience, and given me such pleasure and adventure beyond most peoples imagination-

The northern lights- sunsets on mountainsides and in the southern swamps, night skies when I didn't think I could even  see all the stars there, let alone attempt to count them,  wonderful sights of nature as God intended- grizzly and black bears, elk, muley, pronghorn, moose. A lynx- a wolverine- a few mountain lions, a white wolf.

A coopers hawk landing on my bow hanger, a painted bunting on my bowtip, an owl catching a squirrel- a gobbler walking into my boot- too many exciting or interesting or curious things to mention even a few.

But through it all it's the people My mind connects with many of those experiences  I feel thankful for!

Even though I was yet a sinner He loved me....thank you Lord for never giving up on me and not turning your back on me.
Thankful for a wonderful woman He led me to and who married me and made a an honest man showing me true love and putting up with me. Also for the two beautiful daughters that God blessed us with. From them came 2 good men to marry, love and care for them. From that I am thankful for the 2 grandkids that He blessed us with.
I am thankful for so much. Each day I wake and give thanks to all He has provided and blessed me with.

[Cottonwood]

[S.C. Hunter]

I am thankful that I had loving and tough grandparents who raised me. I am also thankful for my family and being born in this country or at least the country that it can be again. I am thankful to have served my country, and most of all for my creator who sent his son for me.

I'm thankful to be alive after having a heart attack and quadruple bypass 3 months ago. I'm very thankful for the love and support of my family and friends during my recovery. I've always been kind of a loner, spend a lot of time by myself in the mountains, but I now realize I have more friends than I realized.

[Shinken]

I am thankful for the Good and the Bad  - as both are necessary to mould us into the individuals that God wants us to become...the best version of ourselves....

I am thankful for being created with a heart that is both giving and forgiving....

Thanks be to God!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shoot straight, Shinken
