Yes, the loss of traditional hunting times is a tough one. Used to fish with my Dad so he would hunt with me and older brother. Dad passed on and the older brother and I hunted together for many years. He died several years ago, so now I hunt with a couple of younger fellas, hoping to pass on a little bit of stored wisdom (?) and a couplle of guys near my own age just for the enjoyment of each other's company.

Not the same as hunting with family, but close.
