I have been and outdoorsman all of my life. I went on my first hunt in 1962 with my Dad and Grandfather.I began to bow hunt in 1968. People looked at you like you were nuts going out in the woods with a bow back then.I have never lost the passion to hunt. I worry that I will someday. Now that I am a little long in the tooth I still go for it. It is a little harder sometimes cause I have no delusions what is like to sit in the rain and know all about cold feet and hands. It is a little harder to hump up and down the hills but I am still just as excited as I was back in the proverbial day. Everyone goes through "burn out" and frustration. It is the challenge that keeps me on my stand. just about anyone can blast a deer with a shotgun or high powered rifle. It is not so with a bow in your hand.
