OLD BUCK, AWESOME THREAD!
I HAVE NEVER KNOWN ANY HUNTER TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT INTO WORDS! I THINK EVERY BOWHUNTER SHOULD EXPERIENCE IT AT LEAST ONCE, UNFORTUNATELY THAT WON'T HAPPEN. ROGER RAGLIN PUT IT BEST WHEN HE SAID, "I WISH I COULD JUST GIVE YOU A SPOONFULL OF THE FEELING, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING LIKE IT".
A BOWHUNTER THAT HASN'T EXPERIENCED HARVESTING A BIG BUCK DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW IT IMPACTS A HUNTERS LIFE. YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN YOU SAID "ADDICTION". I HAVE IT BAD!!!! I THINK ABOUT BIG BUCKS EVERYDAY AND LOOK BACK AT THE AWESOME MEMORIES FROM THE BIG BUCKS I HAVE KILLED IN THE PAST. I DISECT DOWN WHAT I DID WRONG ON THE ONE'S THAT GOT AWAY AND WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. MY WIFE GOT TO SEE LAST YEAR HOW MUCH OF A HIGH HARVESTING A BIG BUCK GIVES ME (EVEN THOUGH IS SHOT THIS ONE WITH A MUZZLELOADER). SHE TOLD MY MOM THAT SHE HAS NEVER SEEN ME SO EXCITED OR ACT ANYTHING LIKE I DID THAT DAY! I GET SO FIRED UP EVEN THINKING ABOUT KILLING ONE OF THOSE OLD MONSTER BUCKS. I EAT, SLEEP AND BREATHE IT. I COULDN'T IMAGINE ANYTHING GIVING ME MORE JOY AND HAPPINESS THAN RUNNING A ARROW THROUGH A BIG BUCK (BESIDES HAVING JESUS CHRIST IN MY LIFE AND MY GREAT FAMILY). HUNTING IS MY PASSION, AND I LOVE TO CHASE THOSE MONSTER HEAVY ANTLERED BUCKS SO MUCH. WHEN YOU GET ONE ON THE GROUND IT'S A BETTER FEELING THAN HITTING THE GAME WINNING HOMERUN IN THE SEVENTH GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES OR MAKING THAT LAST SECOND SHOT IN THE FINAL CHAMPION SHIP GAME. IT IS A FEELING BEYOND DESCRIPTION!!! AS STAN POTTS SAYS, " YOU GOTTA JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!"
NOW I AM ALL FIRED UP AND I DON'T GET TO GO HUNTING IN ILLINOIS TILL NEXT WEEKEND. IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG WEEK!!!!!!
