Like when that big doe is watching you and your trying to keep your eye on 3 different deer and pull back your bow on one without getting busted." Don't get me wrong, I love archery and love to deer hunt. The thrill and excitement that goes into both is like nothing other than I can describe. You have to be able to get close and not get detected by going through countless steps of preparation and hard work through out the year. But the more I thought about what my friend said, I couldn't really disagree with it. I think it is what partly fuels me as a bowhunter myself. Share the tradition with your family and friends. It's a ride, Happy Hunting!
