HUNTING -- I have fond memories from 50 years of deer hunting seasons, including the one pictured above. The buck was harvested miles from an open road with the .270 my father used for decades before I was born.

It was a hard hunt, and the meat was even more delicious because of it.

I don't doubt that you have fond memories of hunting seasons past.

Cherish them.
