I grew up hunting, my grandmother taught me to eat what you shoot. In my state you have to be drawn in a lottery to get a tag for most game. I've been fortunate to draw several elk tags over the past few years, and have taken four elk with my bow.
I hunt most everything including varmint. Also fish a ton. Im a regular ol redneck outdoorsman. I love having fresh deer meat in the freezer, its cheap and very healthy. One of these days Im gonna get out to Colorado and take me amd the wife on an elk hunt.
Used to hunt a lot but since we started having kids I haven't. I have quite the gun collection and several bows that are just collecting dust right now. I will get back to it one day but for the time being I don't have the time.
