Jeff - I might recant my statement, the only way I think I'd ever get bored of hunting whitetails would be if I could go out and kill a mature deer every hunt. I've been bowhunting obessively for 8 years now, and feel like I've only learned maybe 10% of what I need to know... So I'm looking at atleast another 72 years of bow hunting before I get there

Also keep in mind that I live in a 'game rich' area. I predator hunt in jan, have great waterfowl hunting from nov-jan, shed hunt/scout for deer in feb/march. Fish for stripers in march-may, fish all summer, crab from jun-oct, and bowhunt from sept till jan. So I have plenty to keep me occupied outdoors right out my back door...
