The one thing you said that sticks out that I say to my wife is it is who I am, it is part of me. I don't know if it's the challenge, or knowing everytime you go out there is that chance that big one you've been waiting for may walk past. I have a shirt that says, Bowhunting, The Drug There Is No Cure For! This is definitely a true statement when it comes to me.
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's the challenge the adrenaline and the love of all the prep and gear that go into it...my rig, my arrows, climber, the early fall atmosphere and the fact that the men in orange aren't blasting away yet. And the best part...being tucked in the leaves 20ft. up and looking down on a nice buck that has no idea your there.
