In 1989 I did the same, I had shot 2 bucks the year before and never got excited during the whole process. I had scouted my butt off that year ( 2 1/2 hr. drive each way) set blinds and all that good stuff. Opening day I took a buck at 8:10 in the morning, got it back to camp and had lunch while collecting my buck pool money and went back to my stand. About 1:15 pm I shot another buck and brought him back to camp, collected themoney for the second buck pool, had dinner and a couple pop's then off to bed. I slept in the next morning, drove homeand promptly began selling all deer hunting equipment. The following year opening morning arrived and I awoke to the sound of rain and thunder and thought I am really glad I am not out there in that stuff. Later that day I called on a customer in Saline, Michigan and as I walked out a pickup pulled into the feed and grain store next to the customers building, I could see some antlers sticking out of the pickup bed and went over for a look. As soon as I saw what was a very nice deer everything came rushing back and I haven't missed a season since. Cost me a couple bucks buying all new equipment, but it was a lot of fun shopping for the new stuff.
