    About two years ago i didnt have the slightest interest in
    hunting (now i cant shut my eyes at night without thinking about bowhunting) what so ever until my good buddy in the army from
    kansas was always talking to me about hunting whitetail and
    how amazing it really was and his talking about it sparked a
    slight interest in my mind then this past september while he was
    deployed to Afghanistan he was killed in action he was a great friend
    of mine and a true hero after his death i thought more about what he
    used to talk about and became intent on bowhunting to honor him
    and his name i am so blessed to have had a friend like him to encourage
    me to bow hunt and this fall when im in my stand i know hell be there with
    me to guide my arrow home and i cant think of a better way to pay homage to him than with a big buck..... This fall when your in ur stand try and reflect on a service member who would love to be home safe hunting whitetail... I am so proud to say Tyler Juden was my friend and was an honor to serve with him as an infantryman in the 82nd airborne division

    Sorry to hear about Tyler, but congrats on your outlook for this hunting season. Best of luck to you. I'm sure you will make him proud just for being in a stand.

    sorry about your friend, my wife lost a good friend a few years back, she took it hard. Thats one thing I love about the outdoors, is that it is peaceful and relaxing, even if you don't harvest something everytime your out. his presence will always be with you, especially in stand, good luck to you!
