JudgeSharpeAlabama opening day of bow season
Hello the Campfire:
Another Bow season has come and gone here in the centeral woodlands of darkest Alabama. I was in the woods most of the weekend, which is to me great, seeing how long my cardiac re-hab is taking. I was proud just to be able to put arrows in a pie plate a couple of months ago and to actually get in the woods and get on a stand was almost as good as having grandchildren. My 2 year old grandson was in camp with me all weekend, his first hunting trip.
OK, so I did not see any white tails, but my son got his first with a bow. A nice little button buck. Very tender.
I won't say that not getting a shot does not mean anything to me, but being alive, a cool October weekend and a beutiful sunrise, and the people you love close to you is all anyone can ask for. The rest is gravey on the grits.
Good hunting to all, and please be safe.
