RE: You aren't getting it if...
Well said Doughboy!! I couldn't agree more. Put me on the list cause I'm not getting it I guess.
My most enjoyable moment this past season was taking my son out for the first time. It was the last week of bowseason. My son, a couple buddies, and myself went out in the morning to a different property and moved some stands around to prepare for gun season. We had my son with us. He got his workout for the day and got a whiff of some of the things aside from hunting like war stories, scoutin, sign, stand location, etc........ It was a great educational experience for him and he never ran out of question which was really cool.
Then I took him alone and sat in a natural ground blind with him for the afternoon hunt. I guess I worked him too hard, because I felt a big thud on my shoulder and it was him falling asleep. I sat there til dark (1 1/2 hours or so since he crashed). that was the best hunting day of my life.
My second best memory this season wasn't a kill or a monster buck sighting. I was in a ground blind (have a thing for the ground) and I had a young doe bed down about 15 yards from me. I sat there for over an hour and she never knew I was there. She got up and just about stepped on my feet as she passed by me. That was way too cool.
So I guess I don't get it either.
