I remember when I first started gun hunting when I was 10. I would never get any sleep the night before the opener. Since I started bow hunting I've lost all desire to gun hunt for deer. I never get excited, even though there is still that chance to tag a monster. I still gun hunt, mostly b/c of "pier" pressure from family but I'd much rather bow hunt. It's funny, the past couple of years I can never sleep before the bow opener!
