I just started hunting in March 2009. I bought my bow a week before my first hunt. I have been on 3 hunts and taken an animal everytime. I love hog hunting. This will be my first time to deer hunt and I am so excited. I can not wait to get in stand. I was unsure how I would like the actual kill of an animal but I am so excited about the whole hunt even when no animal is taken. Just being in the outdoors with friends and fellow hunters and watching the animals is so exciting to me. I can't wait until I am able to get outside.
