Default RE: wondering what its like in the real world of hunting

I used to love to target big bucks, was obsessed by it...Also chased big bass...

After having 3 daughters and having my dad die when I was 20, I started realizing that it was as much work as a job...I would take the kids fishing and they hated it...Once I got back to having fun and enjoying the outdoors I realized that the fun was in watching and teaching others that were not fortunate enough to grow up in the country where you can walk out your back door and start hunting...

I'll still arrow a big buck if he walks by...But I'm no longer obsessed...Frankly most of the "big" bucks that I see aren't really that big...So I find myself talking myself out of taking the shot because I want to see what he will be next year...Most guys around here will shoot any buck with a rack on him...

This year, I shot 8 does and one buck...

Does eat our beans as well...
