RE: Would you hit balls all year to play just 18 holes?
Of course I / we think it would be more although I have no problem practicing all year, dreaming, shooting, preparing food plots, spending money all for that ONE chance at a memorable experience. I couldn't do it any less. I do enjoy the shooting part but it comes secondary to the whole experience. I've been at it long enough to know I'm in love with bowhunting and it's part of who I am regardless of how many deer I actually get to kill anymore.
I could apply for many doe tags but my particular area doesn't need doe taken. I was more than honored to hunt with Rick James and take a big nanny. She was my first one since before year 2000. Don't forget last year, after tagging my buck with my only deer tag, Kurt and I still went out with nothing but cameras to sit in the trees. I can't get enough but I don't need to tag one to enjoy it, just being there is fantastic. Don't get me wrong, I'm there to take a buck, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't as well. If I don't, it's of my own accord. I've passed legal bucks already this year, I ask myself, do I spend all this time and money to let them walk by? My answer is this, YES.....until!
