i used to be what i would call a serious hunter. researched my ass off. bought specialized calls, scents, camo's, guns, bows, etc and spent a lot of off season time practicing and reading about techniques. i hunted almost every weekend from october to february. i would get up at 4am, hike an hour or more up into the hills before daylight and be the last guy out after dark. i enjoyed that for 25 or so years but am more of a leisurely hunter these days. i've even been known to sleep in until 8 lately and leave the woods at 3. i get the same level of enjoyment out of that style of hunting.
