I guess the state of Louisiana got me into it. I mostly hunt on WMA' s and most of the gun seasons only last 3-4 weeks. As I like outdoors so much I figured to take advantage of longer seasons (usually Oct1 thru Jan31) I' d give this bowhunting a try. So I bought a cheap bow to see if I' d like this great sport. All this was about 20 years ago and I' m still at it. Actually I hate to see gun season come around, I love this archery stuff too much.
