Getting Back to Hunting

When I was 16 years old, I quit hunting. I really didn’t come back to hunting until I graduated from college, because there were so many things that pulled me away from hunting. One of the reasons I came back to hunting was because my dad always invited me to go hunting with him. Slowly but surely, I got back into loving to hunt. Now I can’t imagine my life without hunting.

Field Judging Black Bears

Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast.
