I seem to have same story as several. I killed a lot of deer with rifles with my dad age 6-20 or so. The last few years I was working at a farm and responsible for killing most of the does killed on a place outside of Tuscaloosa in Fosters. It just got old, I got burned out.

At the same time my parents moved to Little Rock Arkansas and my dad joined a good club/lease in Stuttgart, so it was perfect. I did that(and still turkey hunting in Alabama) for 5 or 6 years hard.

Then I just decided out of the blue i wanted to try bow hunting. (i had a PSE Nova when i was about 14, and killed one spike with it, but the excitement never stuck). I hoped it would re-ignite the excitement for deer hunting. I walked into Archery Unlimited in Prattville about 2010, bought a bow.

I haven't quit shooting/bowhunting since. Absolutley love it.

There is nothing i would rather do.
