Time with Friends

A few years ago I was invited to join some close friends of mine on a hunting trip at their hunting camp. I have been fortunate to have been invited back every year since and it has become somewhat of a tradition for us to get together and hunt around Christmas each year.

A few years ago our sons got old enough to take with us on this annual hunting trip. They are about the same age and although they only see each other about once a year they play together like they have known each other their entire life. We always have a great time reminiscing about old times and making new memories.

This year we had a special treat because both boys would kill a dear during the trip. They shot about ten minutes apart from each other and since it was about dark the tracking and cleaning process took us to about midnight. Although nobody got up quite as early as usual the next morning we all had a great time.

Hunting trips are not about whether or not you get a deer, but more about good times and spending time with people you care about, but getting a deer certainly helps cap off the trip must like icing on a cake. The two days we spent were two quality days spent enjoying nature and the company of good friends.
