I took my young nephew with me to our hunting lease (I have taken him "under my wing" to teach him hunting and woodsmanship as my brother does not hunt).  We hunted together in a ground blind  Friday and Saturday and we saw several deer but mostly young bucks and didn't shoot anything.  We saw other wildlife as well and    really had a great time. He thoroughly enjoyed  the adventure.  
This morning I wanted to start getting things cleaned up but hated to see him miss a learning opportunity so I had him go hunt with another lease member (who was rifle hunting in a tower blind) while I stayed in camp and got packed up and ready to go.  
On the drive home I asked him how he enjoyed the rifle hunt versus bowhunting.  He said "Uncle Paul it was fine but to me, rifle hunting was like watching a football game from the stands, bowhunting is like actually playing in the game".  I don't know if I have ever heard a better explanation.
Live every day like its your last, one day you'll be right.

Archery isn't something I do, it's who I am!
The road to "Sherwood" makes for an awesome journey.

I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

I dream of hearing my son say something like that to me one day!

You're an awesome Uncle for spending that time with him! Congrats, I'm sure you're proud of that cool little guy!
