My friends and I were pumped for the upcoming bow-hunting season. For the past 11 years, we’d gotten together to hunt on a 600-plus-acre farm we signed a lease to use. For us, the property is sort of a retreat from the everyday grind because it’s very secluded and has few amenities. Little did we know that this trip would nearly have a tragic outcome.

If you are going to try out a new activity, it’s important to take the time to learn as much about it as possible before you start. 

As the transition to my next duty assignment neared, I decided to take the family on a vacation. So, we packed our bags and headed to Disney World. My stubbornness while behind the wheel, however, almost caused our vacation to go south.
