-compare? nope, not for me personally. Nothing really does outside of my faith, wife and kids time.

-I enjoy being in the mountains year around, hunting, scouting, shed hunting, glassing etc. Hunting season for me is game time.. the rest of the year; scouting, strategy, prep work, practice is what ups the odds come game days.

-Those 100 degree days in the summers when everyone is hitting the lake, the local watering hole, softball tournamentsyou name it, you'll find me perched in the eveningson some mountain clearcut or ridge glassing until dark. Often by myself or occasionally with a family member. I really enjoyit when no one else is in the woodsand the most careful animals show themselvesin the daylights last hour or half of hour. Often hunters I talk to here at homehave no idea what is really out there.

-I fish a little bit (used to a ton growing up) and will more with the boys getting older but there is plenty of time in the summer days for that.. being a teacher is nice when it comes to free time with the family and still allowing me to get out and scout in the evenings..
