John's Late Season Traditional Bowhunting Adventure
This year, a little confused about the need versus the want to bowhunt, John's season gets a very late start. This was partly by design though. It was fun to have a week of bowhunting to look forward to, and I suspect that it will be replicated in future seasons. This concentrated effort was...
