, that was beautiful MD,
I agree with that 100%, I spend more money on gas each year to hunt than actual hunting itself, just because I enjoy going home to hunt with my father.When it comes to that, money is no object.

For me a succesful season is being in the right spot at the right time and having mature bucks around me, not just one chance encounter, but multiple times. Even if I do not bag one, just knowing that Ifigured them out, deciphered their patterns,and I was good enough to put myself in the right locations is succesful for me. That makes me proud.
