Sometimes I sit back and ask myself how can this sport TOTALLY take over my mind every fall.

For me it is the love of the outdoors coupled with the thrill of the hunt.
There are few things that compare to the sights and smells of a cold fall morning just before the sun rises with deer all around you.

What makes it so good for you?

Having a good time in the woods (getting game makes it better) but just being out away from the office, phones, e-mail, ect. ect. That's waht makes it good for me.

Bow hunting gives me 2 extra months in the woods. Our bow season opens early September. Muzzleloader opens early November and rifle opens a week later.

Peace n quiet n tranquility

the chase..nature

I read Bullseye76 first line outloud. My wife said over my shoulder " because your a big freak"..

Hehe. .

Personally I dont know how or why it takes over but I am glad it does if it ever stops I will truely be sad.

It allows me to be out and in the woods a full 3 months more in a year. There is nothing like it. I love to enjoy the journey.

I enjoy being in the woods and observing nature. Everything from hearing the crows on a cold morning and chipmunks running across the ground, to watching a doe and its little ones feed on acorns. I enjoy being apart of nature for that short little while as much as I do when I take a deer. Also, who can deny the excitment of having a deer just a few yards or feet from you and it doesn't even know your there. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I think the reason I love to bowhunt is the task of getting close to whitetails, and watching nature. And I feel confident with the bow I know that if hes in within 25 yds hes down. I like bowhunting because it opens early and closes late and you get to hunt the full rut. it also gives the animal a fighting chance and makes it more competetive.................. &quot;bowhunter for life&quot;.

no words to describe it.....I just gotta do it.
