Every November I like to take my rifle or shotgun and go walking in the woods. The idea is I'm going to shoot me a big antlered buck, however, years later, I'm still just going for a nice walk in the woods...not very good at hunting, but I enjoy it!

(I get free tags as a disabled veteran, I probably wouldn't bother if I had to pay, cause I'm not that serious about it)

It’s funny you say that. I love being outside, hiking, biking or paddling. I even do some real hunting, for squirrels because they are easier to butcher and less commitment, but it’s the traveling through nature I like best. Just seeing things, stopping to watch a while if there is a good meadow or big oak tree. I was on a bike ride this past week and my favorite parts were, seeing a big flick of probably 30 turkey, a nice buck crossing a meadow in the afternoon golden hour, seeing a turkey fly over the tree tops (turkeys generally run more then they fly) and seeing 3 does in the bushy hillside between two cornfields. It was like they just belonged there. Two were bedded and one standing. The long range phone picture doesn’t do it justice, but your imagination can fill in where the pixels lack.
