Pat, I am sorry to hear about you and your wifesloss. I lost my father when I was 14. I remember alot of things about him, like the times we went hunting. I still have weird feelings sometimes as I enter the woods, like someone is with me. I think that anyone who hunts respects the simplicity of this style of life. No cell phones, no busy streets, a time a place to get a way from the daily grind, kind of like getting one onone time with other nature. There is so much in life that most people take for granted and do not even relieze they do it. I have a son, whois 4 now, i take in the woods with me onocccasion, usaully when theweather is permitting. Pateince is on order, should be here in the next couple of years but it makes it all worth it when I come home and he has his camo on and running around with a cap gun shooting his NWTF JAKE backpack. Good luck this season.
