Family Toast of success
I just returned home and am reflecting upon my 2021 deer and elk bowhunts. While I never drew my bow, I had a great experience. I joined my sons and granddaughter on a trip bowhunting deer in Colorado and elk in Wyoming. We even got a chance to fish in Wyoming. Watching my granddaughter react to bugling elk and catch her largest rainbow to date was priceless. I am so proud that the outdoor experience continues with my family. While we filled our tags, the true success was spending time in the outdoors with three generations continuing the bowhunting legacy. As I turn 83 years old, it was the best birthday present ever.

The outdoors with family is great. Congrats to you, son and grand daughter. I was fortunate to go dove hunting with my son, and his two daughters. It was special.

Thanks for all the great comments from bowsiters that I know share much of the same family values that I do. The memories from these bowhunts are cherished and will be with me always. Sorry about the turned photos as I tried to rotate them but somehow it did not work out. Badbull

How little a person needs for happiness! Family, his favorite pastime and pleasant moments of life! I want to say that we all pursue money, successful careers and often forget what really brings us joy and satisfaction in life. In college we were given the task of writing a short essay about our priorities in life. At that time I could not answer this question on my own for a long time and I started looking for inspiration on the Internet. I found https://graduateway.com/essay-examples/this-i-believe/ where there are many interesting thoughts about life, what is important in it, and what is imposed on us. This resource helped me then to understand my thoughts and I wrote a good essay. I also later sought help on this resource when I needed to do work on topics I didn't know well. And they helped me quickly and professionally every time, so I recommend you pay attention to this resource. Life is one, appreciate it and make the most of the moments!
