18 months ago I sat at a table with Bert Sorin listening to him discuss bowhunting whitetail. I have spent the majority of my last 30 years on a football field in the fall but know that in the fall of 2023 I would not be coaching and that the 2022 season might be my last. I was wondering what I was going to do with my time. A mutual friend introduced me to Bert and I asked him to lunch knowing he was an avid hunter. As he showed me the Huntstand app and discussed hunting strategy, my mind was spinning 100 miles an hour. I knew nothing about hunting but the strategy of it resonated with the coach in me. After that meeting, and over the course of the next month, I decided I was going to spend the entire winter and spring trying to figure out how to take on the challenge of bowhunting whitetail during the fall of 2024. This is a short summary of my 2023 season. Failures in SC, a big win in Illinois, and in general the ups and downs of a hunter. It is nothing unique. Other hunters go through it year after year. The only thing unique about it was that I was tackling this challenge at the age of 55. Here I am now 18 months later and I am, like so many others, changed completely. The piece I feel in the woods, the connection I feel to the animals I hunt, and the preparation it takes to even attempt bowhunting has left an indelible imprint on me. I will do this as long as the Lord gives me the ability to. Thanks for listening.
