RE: What Hunting is to me
Great post..... Me, the wife and three children and My Mom and Dad all hunt together now, life is great.. and the land has been rewarding, memories are made every time we are out in the woods together, memories of a lifetime..Some people go to church, I go to church everytime I hit the woods, thats heaven to me..
Being able to hunt with my wife and three children really does it for me.... For the longest time I would make the trips by myself and hunt with friends for all the same reason as you had posted. Now its kinda like a mini vaction . But now there is this deep welling in me to help other hunters and get more people involved in the sport. I want to see the face on a new hunter as they make there first harvest , no matter what they harvest.
I was lucky enough to get to attend a Youth rifle hunt on the Famous King Ranch in South Texas with 12 new youth hunters, What I saw on those faces of those children and parents as each made harvest made me think alot in the days after that.. After that time, I have now decided that my time spent with new hunter was better than anytime spent by myself in the woods..
