The things that seem to make me the happiest (in no particular order)
1) The first pull of Scotch on Opening Day Eve in the Thoughtful Spot at Camp. This is closely followed by hearing the last shot of The Opener, delivered at about the same time 24hours later, when I'm back in the Thoughtful Spot.
2) The silence that happens between shooting a gobbler and realizing it is time to get up and retrieve the carcass.
3) Hearing one of my sons say something intelligent and wise.
4) Hearing my granddaughter tell me that hunting is her favorite thing in the world.
5) Sitting down to a good plate of fried chicken from a place I've just discovered.
6) KYHillChick telling me, "You've done good there, husband!"
7) When dogs roll over on me and ask to have their belly scratched.
