Ben, I’m pretty much in the same situation as you. I’m 38, with two kids and a wife (who is very supportive of me hunting). Venison is our staple…..we eat 5 or so deer each year. If I don’t kill it, we don’t usually eat it. Back in my life B.C., I hunted 4 or 5 days a week. Can’t and won’t do that now, as other things are more important.
Lately, I’m lucky to have three hunts each week…..which has made it tough to fill the freezer because sightings have been terrible thus far. I’d love to go as often as I used to, but it does make each trip a little more important….try to soak it all in while I’m there! Luckily, my little boy is starting to hunt with me and loves it….so Mama may be sending us both out of the house before long. Pleeeassse don’t throw me in the briar patch!:D
