I've been hunting for 14 years in Minnesota.
1- rifle
1- shot gun
10- bow
All 12 have been great experiences! I can't thank my old man enough for getting me in to hunting and the outdoors!! We have also started to keep a journal of our harvest, it should be fun to go back and read through it with my kids one day, and, god willing, have my dad go over it with his grandchildren!!

Good luck to everyone!!
Is it October yet?
