Title: Retirement, now I can hunt more
Post by: Danny Rowan on November 27, 2017, 04:35:00 PM
Hooray,

Today I officially retire from US Customs and Border Protection. Spent over 40 years serving this great country of ours both with the US Navy and US CBP. Now I can focus on my family and myself. NO More MID Shift.    :biglaugh:  

Now I can get serious about chasing pigs and Sambar deer here on Guam with my bow.

Leave for Texas on Dec 7 for my annual hunt, will be there for 10 days and hope to have some stories to tell when I return.

Thank you for your service and best wishes for your retirement.

Guam doesn't come to mind when I think bowhunting . . . but what the heck!  Pigs would be good.

I've got October 2020 in my sights and am ticking off marks on the wall.

Speaking of retired, I have been having fits with the crowds along the river.  I can go any day I want.  Texas. A friend of mine is taking a longbow i gave him to Texas, west half, to chase after free range mouflon sheep.
