What is your favorite part of it?

[SAM E. STEPHENS]

For me it's everything ( for anyone that's been at my house you understand ) I live trad bowhunting. The getting gear ready , shooting , scouting , new areas and new animals. I really love hunting the backcountry with you life in your backpack and you have to get it all done on your own ( or with friends ) new big country and no idea what's over the next mountain....

the scenery in the elk woods.  just being in the high country, away from roads, people, and all of the everyday stresses in life and taking in the various flora and fauna are why I do it.  elk in the mountain states occupy the most beautiful places...

I do enjoy a good blood trail also. almost to the point where I want to keep going because the rush of suspense is so high. but I also get a rush when and a huge relief when I see that white belly...

The shooting and killing are my favorite.

I love the cold (any month) morning. The crunch, crunch, crunch of an approaching animal. The way my heart beat races when it gets within range. The Canada geese honking overhead, the whistle of duck wings over the marsh. A hawk landing on a branch mere feet from my head, a mink hunting a stone wall. The peace and quiet of a still morning. Just being one with nature for a few short hours a day.
