You are in the zone girl. Now, just remember that perfect feeling of connectedness with the outdoors and sense of loving comraderie with your dad. And remember to relive the experience over and over again throughout your lifetime, even when life is happening around you at about 100 miles per hour during finals week. Being deep in the woods hunting with dad is one of the most rewarding experiences life can offer. Troubles seem to drift away. Surrounded by nature, it feels as if the woods are the same as they were before any person set foot in them. I hunt alone now. My four sons know what I know and what my father knew, but they are all grown and live and hunt and fish in other parts of our great country. I have harvested some real trophies here in east central and southwest Missouri, but I am certain that my dad has sent those deer my way somehow. I have to have extreme patience, endure raw weather and make some tough shots at times, but he always rewards me. Thanks pop. So, although I hunt alone physically, dad is with me spiritually. He died of acute leukemia at age 50 in 1989. I especially cherrish every moment of hunting and fishing with my dad. I've heard and read that people say there aren't words to describe their apprecietion of the outdoors or for the person who passed on their wealth of accurate knowledge. To me there is one word, Cherrish. The person who shared and lovingly transferred all that they knew to help you, the outdoors and all of its fascinating creatures, your freedom and our Almighty who created it all.
