RE: Bowhunting time allotment
For me I spend probably 60% bowhunting/scouting/working on the property to improve bowhunting, and 30% on competitive archery stuff.......the other 10% is spread over a mix of other recreational things such as fishing, hiking, etc.
I see this balancing back out over time, with a continued 60%+ on bowhunting, but the other time being more focused on activities that Lisa can share with me. She loves to fish and I love to do this also, but haven't done much while I've been trying to compete in archery. This consumes a lot of time and prevents me from doing other things I have been involved in over the years. I think I've got another year or two of pushing really hard in this area just to see what I can do but I know I won't be able to pursue it like this forever.
