Thank you for reading!

Very good story and the pictures really help. 

I have to agree with everyone here and agree simplewise. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. Not just another bow hunting hunt but an absolute adventure.

It's refreshing to hear a real story and not just a feeder sit.

Congrats, and thank you for supporting Saint Jude. That's been a great thing here for years.

Great story and pictures. Thanks for sharing. Terry is a class act and a A-1 host!

Great storytelling and photos, Jimmy. What a great adventure you and Terry had.

What they said plus great
writing. Are you an English composition instructor?

Thanks for reading Hud. Agree about the pictures. Wish I'd have taken more, but we were blowin' and goin' the whole time.

Sam, Really appreciate you reading. Glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely an adventure... hopefully, the first of many over there. Glad that I was able to support St. Jude as a part of it.

Joe, Glad you enjoyed the story and the pictures. If I remember correctly, we were bidding against each other on this hunt. Thanks for letting me win    If you haven't, you should definitely find a way to hunt Cohutta one day. It was a beautiful place.

Thank you! No, I just have a lot of practice under my belt. I'm a pastor and do a lot of writing because of that. I've also written a few hunting books for kids. But I appreciate the compliment.

Thanks for reading the long thread!

Jimmy: I thought it was a good idea to bid that hunt up and try to get it. I knew it would be worth the money. I am glad a good guy like you won it. I have known Terry a long time, have hunted and fished with him many times, and he is one of my best friends. As soon as I knew that you won the hunt I knew you would love it. Yes, Terry is a first-class guide and person.

I am looking forward to meeting you on a hunt in the not-too-distant future.

A fine hunting adventure, thanks for sharing the excitement and anticipation of your hunt. Well done ...
