Worked hard. Took care of the family. Paid my bills and laid some money back for the wife. Spent 22 some odd years in the Army and had a successful small business. Got told 1 year ago that I've got myeloma. So WTH. Time to get busy. Sold the biz. Kissed the wife. Spent the last year hiking in Colorado, Kentucky, Tennessee and New Zealand.
Time to hunt. Mostly a solo kind of guy. Like the boonies. White tail, bobcat and yotes here at home. Trained a dog and shot some birds. Hogs in Florida. Spring bear, puma and wolf in Idaho. On the drive back home meeting some friends in Colorado to zap some prairie dogs. Dove in September. Thinking back to Idaho in the fall for some white tail, maybe a muley and work on unfilled tags from the spring. Elk tag here at home. Might try for a Kentucky bear this winter.
Not as interested in the kill as much as the hunt. Like to stay out for a few weeks or so in my tent at the time. Mostly flintlock and bow but will sacrifice and use modern rifle.
It's been a hell of a ride and it ain't over yet.
