I consider my self blessed. My wife grew up with no knowledge of guns or hunting. When I first started dating her I missed opening day of gun season to see her performance in a college dance recital. That's when my family knew she was the one for me. For her she thought nothing if me missing opening day. 9 years later she listens to all my stories, tracked deer with me and know that when it's hunting season I'll be in a tree..... Which is much better than half the men out there hanging out in a bar. She had grown to love the meat we eat and understands to effort and passion I have. She also sees the family bond I have with my dad and brother and hopes for the same with our daughter. With this all said bring on hunting season. The time of year I recharge my batteries.
