    I have not been able to hunt much in the past 3 years (as some of you know). I have not been bow hunting in 2 years. I have only been on a rifle hunt a handful of times. I've killed 1 deer in 3 years. It has been rough.

    This weekend, however, I was able to get out and bow hunt. Twice. And it was glorious. I did not put anything on the ground, I did not even see anything, but that did not stop the fever from taking me over once again. I found a new spot walking out yesterday morning, and it has my heart pumping for this weekend. It is all I can think about. I'm checking to see how many vacation days I have left. I'm staring at aerials instead of working. My mind is all things bow hunting at the moment.

    It feels good to be back.

    I hope, no I want, you to kill a deer with a bow. It would blow my mind. Bizarro Hooker.

    And I'm always a fan of the use of the word "glorious".

    I just felt a little sad that all the jokes about you not bowhunting, could possibly be over.
