One week til rifle season!

[fabsroman]

Sulli,

You are new to hunting, and that is why you are so excited about it. I used to get really excited about it when it was still new to me, but after hunting for 30 years, it is more of a chance just to have a good time with family and friends and to do something I love. I get more excited when I bring new friends along or little kids. That is when I really have my heart pounding nowadays hoping that the birds will come into the decoys or the deer will step out from the brush. If it is just me, my dad, and my dog hunting, I don't get too excited about the hunt.

It is kind of like bike racing to me. When I first started, I used to be really nervous at the start line. Nowadays, I line up and just race.

Good luck with rifle season. Me, I don't even know if I will be hunting deer this year, but who knows.
