Adams,
i think it was you who said its not about the size of the deer you take, but rather the FOND memories you make doing it.

and im sure you much like me, i have lost the will to riffle hunt as it has gotten too easy. now my father loves going up north every year, like his father did and his father did before him. he got me hooked as did your father. HONOR him and hunt with him. build more memories because when hes gone, thats all your gonna have...

my grandfather past last year so this year wanst the same, but we went anyway, had a great time, and had many laughs and made many many more fond memories! and i think you said it best when you said "thats what its all about!"

so get out there and make some memories with good ol' dad!
