There is a "thread" that runs through your thread. It seems most post about someone else.
Before I went to the physical therapist I could hike and hunt less than three hours before the pain was so great I could hardly make it back to the pickup. I was still as serious as I am now that I can go all day. Hunting is my reason for being in the woods and fields. Some years I seriously hunt for a trophy and pass on lesser bucks. Other years I look for a big bodied deer. When I get a doe tag I try to shoot a spike because they have more meat even if they appear to be the same size. That means I pass on a lot of opportunities to kill something. Of course that changes the last few days of the season when I will take anything legal. Even though I am an old man I still want to fill my tags. That's why I hunt.
