[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3095226, member: 9299"] As a younger man, I would hunt well over 100 days per year. If the various large and medium game seasons were closed, I would hunt turkeys, hogs, small game, fowl, coyotes, crows, P-dogs, etc, etc. Heck, even snakes and snapping turtle infested ponds were not immune from 22's. If I counted all the afternoons after work, I guess the number of "days" would climb above 200 or more. It seems I always had a rifle or shotgun in my hands or a pistol on my side. I loved those days living miles in the country and having my own shooting range a few feet from my shop. Coming in from work, grabbing a firearm or bow and taking long walks around the fields, woodlots, big timber, creeks, ponds, etc was very relaxing and often, helped place food on the family table. Back then and now, in that state, deer season for bow opened 1 October and in either bow, rifle or muzzle loader, ran until 31 January. Very generous limits in deer and small game could keep one hunting a long time. Now as an old man and in another state, I feel lucky to hunt a few weeks out of the year, and even that depends on how my health is and what my daily pain levels are. [/QUOTE]
