It's definitely a lifestyle, and I don't think alot of people realize how much some of us put in.
For at least a couple days every month of the year, I'm in the woods doing something that has to do with whitetails. Whether it's scouting and snooping around bedding areas in February, trimming trees before Spring turkey season, running cameras when it's boiling hot in mid-Summer, hunting every available day in November or making one last attempt at a late-season doe. It takes hard work to be regularly successful, there's no way around it. And for alot of us it's a labor of love.
