Lol guys. 39. I'll be 40 by next bowseason. Single, came close twice but thought better of it.
Here's where I am since moving back from Tampa 7 years ago.
I hunted for 5 years just south of Camden. Great guys, "family" club, moderate buck restrictions but too many young bucks getting killed imo. Was time for me to poop or get off the pot about buying the room I was staying in. The rooms in the camphouse were finished by members out of pocket. We had some iffy lease issues concerning the property the camp was on. I decided to move on. Still in touch with those guys, good fellas.
Last year I joined a club on the Tombigbee in N Clarke. The coolest property I've ever been on. Thought I would hunt there a long time. 4.5yr old or 120" buck restrictions. A coup took place and some wealthy members whom I considered friends, took control and doubled the dues and cut me out. This one hurt, not in touch with these guys.
This year got invited to join an old high school buddy at his private lease in W.Dallas Co. We're not on the same page about pressure, baiting, kids (who have already killed bucks in the past) shooting fawns in the field and woodpeckers and songbirds at the camp. My Dad and Grandpa would have whooped my ass something fierce over that. Big buck potential was through the roof, but I just can't be around that. I love kids, especially mentoring the ones about 11 or 12 that get interested in archery and woodsmanship, on the flip side I can't stand to be around undisciplined younguns.
So here I am looking for a club and cooking up schemes with you two and Capt Jab
