Matter of fact, you can have some downright life-threatening days in the field while hunting and fishing. We’ve all read the quote “a bad day hunting beats a good day at work” but I promise you, I’ve had many days hunting and fishing that I would’ve given anything to be somewhere else. I’ve been drenched to the bone and freezing cold, wondering if I’ll get hypothermia. I’ve been lost several times. I’ve climbed high hills and hiked miles to near exhaustion with heavy packs on, I’ve been fishing on days in a boat where I thought I could drown. I’ve been broken down in a boat twice in the middle of the night, and barely made it home. I got stuck in a snowdrift one time while hunting, with no heater in the truck…. I used a candle in a gallon coffee can for warmth until help came looking for me. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😬" title="😬" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png" /> All that said, when it all comes down to it I LOVE the adventures I’ve had in the woods and on the water. I have 2 boys who love to hunt and fish, and we’ve shared some of our best times in the outdoors. When it all comes together it’s amazing. I love eating fish and deer meat and I love sharing it with family and friends. Heck, I just got back from shooting a hog with my thermal. I don’t know why I would ever quit hunting or fishing. It’s a large part of who I am.</blockquote>
