Got my start hunting quail with my family when I was 6 years old. The quail population really went down about the time deer started showing up in our parts when I was 12 years old. So, we started to hunt deer duringgun season. I get a bow a few years later and it's all over. With the exception of opening weekend of gun season, I strictly bowhunt.

To answer your question, the challenge to get close to deer and getting a chance at a trophey whitetail is what keeps me coming back.
