My father took me when I was first hunting, but only because I asked him to. Otherwise he thinks bow hunters are a waste. (some very poor excuses for huntersare his only direct experience with them)

But the reason I wanted to go was I got tired of freezing my .... tail .... off every year during rifle season, and I had been shooting at a local shop for competition for a few years. So I decided to try to avoid the lousy weather of late November and Decemberand get done well before the seasons changed too much.

Now I am getting back into it because I want the longer season and greater chance at getting my deer.

Simple as that.
