Thanks to everyone on the nomination for HOM and the nice words about the story, really appreciated!!
Where I live it's VERY hard to find people who are interested in predator calling, or who don't quit after not seeing a critter the first time you go out.
Predator Masters has connected me with people who share my passion and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to read your stories and relate to your frustrations of not seeing anything and the joys of a successful hunt.... mostly the frustrations though!! LOl
I am trying my darndest to get the money and time off to go to the Las Cruses hunt this year and meet some of you guys!!
Blitz636,
I do love strapping on my snowshoes and heading out for a day into the middle of nowhere .. the winter keeps the people out of the woods as does the heat in AZ.
Unlike heat though.. when its cold out you just put another layer on and your good!! In the heat .. you can only take so many clothes off!!
I loved Arizona and Ill tell ya what .. 115 degrees is darn hot BUT.. I would rather hunt in 115 degrees in AZ than 85 degrees in MI ... it really is a dry heat.
I guess if I had to choose a full day in the desert over a full day in the winter woods I would choose winter .. the desert is a MEAN, HARSH environment that you really cant let your guard down with.
In MI you dont have to watch every single step for a rattler, or jumping choya. And when you sit down for a stand you dont have to look for scorpions and other mean critters that are out to get you!!
Not complaining here, I truely loved every second I spent in the desert .. it tests you and I like that!!
Thanks again guys!!
