I was talking to a fellow hunter on the way up--Arky Bob who I went to CO with a couple of years ago. He said when you get to a certain point, it's all about the hunt, and a kill is just icing on the cake. I have to agree--otherwise I'd have taken a weapon that would have made filling my tag a lot easier.
Your friend said a mouthful there, lots of truth to that Chad!!! I've elk hunted 6 different times and I'm still "elkless" but to say I didn't enjoy myself because I wasn't successful would be so against how I roll as a bow hunter. No matter the animal I'm hunting, the hunting trip and comroddary are what It's all about. Getting the animal I'm after Is always a bonus but by no means has to happen.
Another thing too, a guy can never control the whether, been burned there a few times as well. Thats hunting for ya I guess. Better luck next time Chad, I like your Insight on hunting!!
