Raising kids & Working I Bowhunted during my vacations. Always took a family vacation for everyone else also. Now my children are raised-I am retired & just bowhunt biggame practically year round- Deer in season & Exotics & wild hogs off season. Now, we do foster care for teen girls & I have a 15 year old that will be doing her 1st Bowhunting this fall along with my 30 year old daughter that is a Nurse. I have only Bowhunted (49 years now) & have a list of Many Whitetails, Mule Deer, Black Bears, Caribou, Elk, Buffalo, many wild hogs & Exotics. Now, I still Bowhunt lots BUT I really enjoy taking my Son & 2 girls Bowhunting. Summer I take the wife & 2 teen girls fishing for anything that bites in the Mississippi River (Iowa/Ill. border) & am planning a off shore Ocean day fishing trip for them down the road.
Good luck this fall.
