gun season

Today was the last day of regular gun season. I hope everybody that had a chance to get out had a good season. For me, the best part of it was getting away for some much needed vacation in the stand, where it seems a lot of life problems seem to melt away. They will always come back, but when on the stand I kind of revert back to some of the old hunting writers(I read a lot) about how they really appreciated the outdoors. I don't care if its a squirrel barking at me for being in its territory, or being totally scared out of my britches when a pheasant came up underneath my foot this afternoon while on a doe drive, I just can't imagine being anywhere else this time of year. I've seen some great bucks, but never close enough to take, and seen some good bucks that have walked right on by that could have been taken. We still have lots of bow season left and some doe gun hunts if your in the right counties, but gun season has somehow always been my time. Fortunatly for me my wife know this and encourages my participation. I guess life is better for her afterwards with a clear head and heart.

Life is good in the stand
