RE: Metamorphosis of a Bowhunter
In some ways we are a lot alike, I am a lone wolf 95% of my hunting up until the last few seasons now that my twins are taking an interest in hunting. I am started them off scouting and sitting on stand with me during gun season, this year will be thier first year gun hunting themselves, the old man will still be right there with them. I have a feeling my biggest hunting thrill ever will be them killing thier first deer!
Bow hunting is a whole different story, that is now and will remain me and me alone. Do not get me wrong, if a club or friend came along that I was comfortable with, I would hook up with them. I do all my own scouting and stand selection so if I couldn't do that I doubt I would join. Unlike you I do enjoy talking about my hunts, however I will be honest and say that if I know where a big buck is I do keep my mouth shut until he is mine. One of the things I love about this board is you can talk about the big one you are trying to get without worrying about someone sliding over on your stands to get him!
