    My #1 asset would have to be my job . It allows me a lot of time to hunt and being the only store in a small farming community, it gets me a lot of property to hunt .

    Access to land -- My family owns 80 acres of hunting land that I get to hunt on my own. I also have 4-5 large areas of public land very close by.

    Vacation Hours -- At my job I am able to accrue a lot of hours that can be saved up for hunting vacations and I also get paid holidays,which some fall in hunting season.

    Everyone on here -- Reading threads on here has really helped me a lot since getting into bowhunting. Without this forum I'd still be picking a random stand location or would never be motivated to go hunt other game. Also, seeing regular guys getting it done every year makes me want to become better.

    Willingness to learn -- I have two bookshelves that are loaded with hunting related books. What I don't know, I will read or ask about it. Whenever I fail, I will go through every little detail to see what went wrong.

    Bigger bucks in my normal stomping grounds....my newest spot has several shooters.

    Tons of PTO...I will be hunting the whole last week of October and the first week of November. I will also be hunting 4 days a week the other weeks.

    My wife....incredibly supportive and hot as heck :D

    Enough arrows to get thru the season ;)

    I'm very lucky :)

    Always have been.. I once fell in a septic tank as a kid and came out smelling like a rose! LOL

    According to my dad who had a broken nose and breathed through his mouth most of his life!!

    Seriously-- My top asset is having a place to hunt that has bigger than average bucks running around!

    I knew there was a reason I always liked you!

    A man with his priorities in order is an admireable trait!

    a very understanding Wife and 1 who allows me to pursue a passion of mine, Monday is my 13th year Wedding Anniversary and it would have been the 1st day I would have been able to get out and hunt (here in Md tomorrow the 5th is the Opener) and she was telling me to go ahead and go hunting instead of spending the day with her...wow the Lord has blessed me with a awesome women there. So I'm going out Tuesday to Hunt
