Bigcountry, couldn't agree more. I drive 3 hours to my main spot and in the spring/summer I go down about 5 times just to scout, hang stands and help with food plots. My Fiance and my buddies wife think we are crazy but its all part of the process. Every time I hand a stand I get in there and say, "Oh ya, were going to kill one out of here" 24 stands later its not true out of all of them! Half the fun is prepping for the season. Heck, in the fall I take half days on fridays and drive 3 hours with my buddy to get a 3 hour hunt in at night. That drive is just as much fun as hunting. We talk about hunting the whole time. Killing is just a bonus and buddy, you got a heck of a bonus this year!!
