Bowhunt Quest: The Quest for Fred

The Quest for Fred

First time I saw him ("Fred") was 6 days ago 6 yards from the tree. He came in at last light and it was too dark to shoot.

Threw the ScoutGuard up and yesterday snapped a couple good photo's. Had the camera up all summer and never got a photo of this buck. Just goes to show you never know what's out there. Man, I love this time of year!

The Reason.......

Motivation. Determination. Drive. This is what I have committed myself to. This is how I become a better hunter. This is how I prepare for mountains, canyons, hunger, pain, backbreaking meat trips, and most of all, the moment of truth. The moment where everything you have worked for, everything you have dreamed about is right in front of you, and it's what you do in that second that determines success or failure. For me, it's not a question of if I have what it takes, it's a question of when. In my book failure is never an option, it's only a temporary obstacle.

My hope for the following information is plain and simple. To make certain there is no question that I did everything in my power to prepare myself for bowhunting success. That through my training, shooting, and thought, I have pushed hard enough to take "chance" out of the equation. My father, a very accomplished bowhunter and all around wise man told me "With bowhunting, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey". Wise words from the man I owe my love for this sport to. Below is my journey.
