Paul Goes Hunting


When I started this site, my vision was of my site filled with wondrous pictures of wildlife captured by my trail cam. However, that never happened. That should be obvious to you; do you see any wondrous pictures here? My inclinations and life took me in other directions.
But things change. My son, Paul has a father-in-law who has a passion for hunting. He wanted his son-in-law to be a hunter also. So, he bought Paul a compound bow.
The thing is that Paul never showed interest in hunting as he was growing up. I was a bit blindsided by it. He started practicing with his bow and very quickly became very good with it. And he became very driven to take a deer.
One day he brought his bow over and let me shoot it. I had loved archery before and that bow rekindled my passion. Luckily, I got my own bow as an early Christmas present. Paul and I became shooting and hunting partners. Paul got his deer this season; I didn't even draw on a deer.
So now we are working on taking a wild pig. We have plenty of them on the Farm.
But back to the story of the blog site. I have decided to turn this site into a journal chronicling my hunting adventures. I have another site dedicated to photography. It has been neglected as much as this one.
So enjoy. Do not be too critical of my attempts, I am just starting out on this adventure and I have a lot to learn. Also, I am not claiming that I what I am doing. When I post things here, they are not meant to be the final word on hunting. My comments are mostly for myself. I am just tracking ideas and things that I have heard. Please, if you happen to be that lone reader and you can correct me, leave a comment. I need all the advice I can get.
By the way, if you are anti-hunting I would suggest you look elsewhere for entertainment. I am hoping that some of the scenes depicted on this site will be graphic. Viewer discretion is advised.
