Initially, because my dad did it.

After a while, because it was fun.

These days, because I have an overwhelming passion bordering on obsession to spend as much time in the woods pushing myself to my limits, finding out who I am as both a hunter and a person.

Also because its fun and it allows me to spend a lot of time with my dad. Those of you who've been here for quite awhile know how close I am with my father and that he and I spend quite a bit of time together in the woods and on the water.
