i know exactly what you mean, i live to bowhunt. I need to get out and away from it all. It relaxs me and puts my mind to work and asleep at the same time. i am always ready for whatever comes. I feel tradition and a past time that will live with me til i can no longer pull back my bow. I am getting to the point where i hate gun hunting cause it is no challenge to me. The deer here in pa are not running around freely during gun season, they are running for their lives and all you have to be is in the right place at the right time. Scouting the deer, knowing where they are and where they are going to be at any given time and waiting is all part of the game that i love.....i too am a bowhunter!
