Tomcat it's not that bad, I've laid down my rifle back in 98 because it was not a challenge for me any more. I took off hunting deer 4 years. Pick up bow back in 02. I haven't yet taken a deer with a bow. I practice all the time during the year. The place I hunt you have to pay for a Trophy buck and seen plenty within bow range, just couldn't afford it. I missed a couple of does through the years. I'm still trying to score my first deer. I just enjoy all the Great things about the outdoors and yes I still have the bug.
