I grew up gun hunting in Alabama and Georgia. In my early twenties I made a good friend, local guy, out in Alamogordo, New Mexico while stationed there on active duty. He was a bow hunting junkie, stalking elk, pronghorn and mulies, all over the state. He taught me to shoot and taught me how to hunt western big game with a bow. It totally changed the way I thought about hunting. I was hooked and when I moved back to Alabama in the late 80's I adapted my methods to my favorite quarry the Whitetail deer. Shot my first Whitetail with a bow from a treestand in 1988. I rarely deer hunt with a gun. It just doesn't provide the same challenge or thrill as the bow.
