Found a great story about what deer hunting means to a guy in the south. Hunting Club, hounds
and lots of fun. Kinda sums up my first couple of years hunting whitetails. A hand me down single shot 20 ga and some buckshot when i first started. My gear has since improved just a bit :mrgreen: Its now going on 30 years with the same club my granddad started in the early 50s with a couple other WWII vets. I was sitting in a treestand this morning thinking about all deer I have killed with the club. Then started to think about all those tough old birds that have passed on. The ones i used to go on a stand line with if my dad was busy running the dogs. Learned alot of the hot crossing spots and good places to sit from the old timers. I sure do miss those guys and especially both of my grandpops. We have only one old timer left and he is one of those WWII vets. Every year my interest in other types of hunting grows but the draw of the club is always there and walking the same woods that I have for 30 years.
