26, first year bowhunting. Hunted small game as a kid. I teach 6th grade so being out in the field is the absolute only time I get any peace and quiet.

I' m 35 - dad used to let me tag along to check his trapline when I was 6. Have taken all of my bucks with a bow and hope to keep it that way. Far more of a challenge. Also, isn' t the thrill of getting them up close the reason we all do this?
