I took my young nephew with me to our hunting lease (I have taken him "under my wing" to teach him hunting and woodsmanship as my brother does not hunt). We hunted together in a ground blind Friday and Saturday and we saw several deer but mostly young bucks and didn't shoot anything. We saw other wildlife as well and really had a great time. He thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.
This morning I wanted to start getting things cleaned up but hated to see him miss a learning opportunity so I had him go hunt with another lease member (who was rifle hunting in a tower blind) while I stayed in camp and got packed up and ready to go.
On the drive home I asked him how he enjoyed the rifle hunt versus bowhunting. He said "Uncle Paul it was fine but to me, rifle hunting was like watching a football game from the stands, bowhunting is like actually playing in the game". I don't know if I have ever heard a better explanation.
