Good story and a good life you have going on so far alleyyooper. Getting together with buds & fam over hunting is a big part of it. A friend from our deer camp died this summer suddenly at 47, it won't be the same at camp this year. He used to bring some booze he mixed up called apple pie, we would pass it around the campfire at night and BS. I also enjoy getting together to cut and wrap up the venison, just as much as the hunt, it's all good times!
