I used to whitetail hunt from Oct 1 till Jan 1 every year here in Indiana. Bow, slug, muzzleloader and then late bow. After having kids that declined. Then my boys went with me for several years and it was more about eating candy and having fun in the ground blind. Neither of them want to hunt anymore (both are teenagers now). I found myself sitting in the woods last year on a perfect morning the day before Thanksgiving. In years past I would have hunted all day, but on this day I found myself looking at my watch, thinking that my wife and boys were home that day (no school), and I could be with them doing things and being a dad, instead of being in the woods alone.
I really enjoy hunting in Wyoming with my friends and our outfitter. After several times hunting with our guides, we have become friends with them too. Our guide even came out to Indiana last summer and hit the links with us. The camaraderie amongst our gang is what keeps me hunting. I may not hunt whitetails here in IN, due to my desire to be with my family. I am just holding on to the hope that someday one or both of my boys will want to go hunting with dad again.
