    Rush Ranch SHARE program - My first bow hunt!

    How’d the hunt go? I drew this for 1/3. Looks like a swamp! Are hip waders necessary? PM if you’d prefer. Thanks.

    D16 tag punched- My first deer! *Rookie report*

    This is my proudest moment as a hunter. Very thankful for my good fortune. It happened on Thursday, in the wind. After a 9.0 miles of hiking I found myself in position on a small group of deer. He was with at least two does, and one other buck of similar frame. Sharing this moment and...
