I am fortunate enough, for almost 10 years running, to be able to take off the middle of oct. thru dec. I hunt almost everyday during that time wether its am, pm, or both. Only with the bow, as I've never harvested a deer with a gun. I've got it bad, the fever that is. I have absolutely no desire though to hunt anything else, except elk. On top of the sickness Ihave,I would much rather give my hard earned cash to americans in america rather than send it overseas. So yeah, as soon as I am able to financially, I will be taking one of the six weeks or so that I have off, and heading somewhere to the land of giants with a fist full of hundreds and a dream.
