It's 9:27am on Monday April 2, 2012 and I have decided to start this, my 3rd successive attempt to capture my hunting efforts in word and picture this year. I say attempt because my effort in 2011 was pitiful and left incomplete.
In 2010, my entries captured everything that was important going on in my life if it was even remotely connected to hunting and they also described aspects of a few family hunts, not just a certain quest. When the contest concluded and the entries were rated, it became clear that most readers didn't care for this ?general? type of storytelling. So in 2011 I set out to describe a single hunt ? my quest for a big AZ archery bull.
But, I soon found out that's not really what I wanted to do. My interest was in documenting the whole family?s adventures so we would always have something to go back and re-live. Winning the contest wasn?t what it was about to me! So with that said, I'm going back to my 2010 style and look forward to a lot of entries in this blog and a lot of excitement along the way.
