Counting my years as youngster on a stump with a 4-10 this is my 30th. I did take a 5 year hiatus after I had back surgery in 2004. Of course my total kills doesn't come close to the amount of years I've hunted.
This will be season number 11 for me. Always just hunted gun season and a couple muzzleloader seasons until last year and missed 1 or 2, maybe 3 seasons completely. Got the crossbow right after gun season last year so this will be my first full season.
