 So I've not been around here in a while as life sometimes gets in the way of things. Been missing sharing stories of hunting and gear and such , I'm sitting in a tree now with one of my ILF rigs watching the world come alive. Back in November my sister had a massive heart attack and her husband also had many medical issues. With nothing going good for them I moved them to my place out in the country. My sister only has 18% heart function now and is on the transplant list and her husband Jack passed last week at my house. He loved to bowhunt and fish and I took him out as much as I could until he was just unable to go any longer. And being a fireman in a big city ain't been much fun these days but we will all endeavor to persevere. Still doing my thing been shooting some ILF rigs and have a new longbow on order from JT Traditional ( can't wait to get it ).
Anyway hope everyone is doing well here and I hope to get back to my old ways of posting here. I need to send my $$ in so I can get back into the classifieds here I do miss that a lot. Good luck to all in your hunts...

God bless you for hanging in there and being kind and caring to your loved ones.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Sorry to hear about your brother in law, remember you talking about your sister's heart attack. It's sure been a rough year. Keep doing the good work on the big red truck & be safe.

Welcome back sam. Sorry to hear about your sis and brother in law.   Thank you for your service.  I know firemen tend to be forgotten during these times but do so much more than put out fires. 

Good luck this fall.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Always enjoy your stories Sam.

Glad to see you back Sam-despite life's setbacks. Prayers for your sister and hope to see some of your hunting stories come to life again.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Sorry to hear about this hard providence over the last year. I pray the Lord will renew your strength as a caregiver and that you will enjoy the time you do get out. As Fred said "Nothing clears the mind like shooting a bow".
Pick a spot...

Good to see you back Sam.  I was just thinking of you the other day. Life happens and this internet stuff isn't a priority in the big picture. Hope the best for your sister.
