BULL DOWN, When the student surpasses the instructor

[cwpayton]

BOW hunt Colorado unit 421 , went well this year , I accompanied my son as chief cook , camp security and met packer ,skinner this year., and he has truly surpassed the old man instructor. 2nd day out on the mountain in a public land unit ,in a new to him area he dropped a 6x7 at elevation 9660 ft. at 12 yds ,[bow]. Dark timber where the quads dont go. I helped pack out the meat about a mile down and out ,around lots of blow down and steep ., a real gasp for air adventure, from boy to man he's done great and outdone me hands down. 1995,

Congrats to your son!

And congratulations to you, if he has surpassed your best, to be able to come at it from a place of being proud, and not a place of jealousy and resentment.

That's a special memory to share.
