I had a great birthday, but someone forgot to tell the deer to come to the party. Actually my wife and our neighbors up in East TX showed up and gave me a pretty good party around the campfire.
  
As for the whole week of hunting, here is a video that tells the whole story......
  
P.S. Ray was starting to group with the his recurve. Still has a lot of practice ahead but he can be ready to hunt traditional next year, I'm sure of it.

 Good video Derek!
 
Thanks for the help and advice with my recurve. I did feel more comfortable as time went on....maybe I'll be ready by next deer season or even a late season LSBA hunt, if we have one. 
 
Way to go achieving your 50th....you'll catch up with me in a couple of years! 
 
Had a great time out there. Now I know what they mean by the "Big Thicket". Wow. I was sitting in my blind one of the days marveling at the growth around me. Not something this old West Texan has seen much of....lol. I had the thought "How did Cabeza de Vaca, Coronado, and the other early explorers in this area make it through stuff like that....no trails, no roads, no fire lanes. Amazing.
