RE: What's "Fun", to you?
To me the "fun" is getting up early on a crisp cold fall morning and getting in my tree in time to watch the sun come. After a little while of enjoying the wakening day I hear crunching in the leaf and look toward the sound to see a deer, any deer, coming right where I thought that it would. Then driving a 100 grain Muzzy through it's chest and watching it die in sight. And then seeing the look on my sons face when I get home and tell him that I killed one, man October can't get here soon enough.

Vabowman said it pretty good! When I go out west Elk hunting or go up north Bear hunting I go there to enjoy myself and get away from all the BS around home. If I get an animal its a plus and if not oh well, I can live with it.

To me, fun i just hunting I guess. I love being in the woods, up in the tree. About the most fun for me is when deer/critters come by and have no idea you are there. Almost like you are spying. I'm not going to jerk anyone's chain here and say the kill isn't part of it, because it is. There is nothing like coming out the woods after getting a deer and calling friends and my brother. That to me is fun.

I will add I love silence, with two kids and all I do, to sit in a tree and do nothing is awesome. Some may understand, some may not.
Shooting a deer is a bonus

About the silence: My hearing took a bit of a hit during military service and has gone down some from there but I can still hear fairly well. I hear best when there isn't a lot of loud "clutter noise" (tv,cars,radio, etc.). When I am in the woods it seems I can very well because it is so quiet. It is very calming and with all that happens during my normal days, very calming is good

Anythingand everything to do with hunting is fun to me. I like being out among the critter that I am after. I like scouting, planting food plots, filling feeders, hanging stands, cutting roads and shooting lanes.
I enjoy the work involved after the kill.....gutting, draggin, hanging, skinning, and packing.
Oh, yeah I think it's fun to be in the woods hunting..............killing is the bonus.
