I started hunting the first day of September and quit just a few days ago. In between, I hunted more days than not. Now the wait begins, eight long months before it starts all over again.

When people ask what I do, I tell them I hunt, fish and garden, but mostly I hunt. A lot of folks smile and nod, some ask what I hunt, and others quickly move on to another t...
