Actually it used to mean alot more to me years ago. Back then we would camp (friends and i ) for the last week of bow season and the first weekend of gun season. It was exciting as you mentioned Tony expecting the unexpected But since that we have gotten older, started familys, had kids and got away from the camp scene [&o]My Dad never deer hunted so i missed out there. I still go out with my kids for the gun opener and love watching them getting it done. I have a blastbeing with themeven if im still toting the bow. I kinda got away from hunting with my smoke poll in 2005 even after i killed my biggest ever a 155" er with it. There is nothing wrong with doing something you love doing I just have more liking of the bowhunting.
