Larry, you know for me it not always about about what you might harvest on the trip to the woods... I guess I am beyond that at my age, it really is all about being out there. Certainly, if the animal of the trip comes along - that is really a bonus - but I have always said... right fter you pull the trigger the work begins again.
My wife worries als the time when I go out by myself, but for me it is a rejuvenating thing - I love walking around in the woods. Unfortunately I can not go as deep or a rugged as I use or that I want to now but but it is a very peaceful time...
Good luck.... have a whole lot of quality bonding time....
