When you are young you think you will never grow up. "When can I have my own phone, When can I drive?" are all questions we've heard from impatient youth. As we get older time flies and we see that our time on Earth is not infinite. Last September my oldest son Kyle, grandson Luke and Grammy
had the opportunity to deer hunt with me in our
ancestral deer camp. Having 3 generations around the campfire hasn't been done in our family since 1960, my Grandfather's last deer hunt. I was filled with a certain contentment sharing stories about my Dad and Grandfather with them as they never knew either.
The last time Kyle and I deer hunted here was almost 20 years ago! A mission, college, med school, residency had filled his time. Sure we had hunted together but not here, not on the mountain we know so well.
As I look at the pictures from that hunt I am filled with nostalgia. Hopefully I have enough time left to hunt with all my family.
