Last May I started a thread called, "The Start of a Booner Season". The idea of the thread was to share pics and stories from spring bear season through the end of whitetail bow season in an effort to inspire others to get out and spend more time in the outdoors and to share their own hunting related stories here on HBC. With over 60,000 views, I'm guessing the thread did a lot of what I'd intended when I started it.
Along the way, I shared some awesome experiences with my family and introduced them to the HBC community. I also met several really good people through this site - people that I now consider good friends. I was very fortunate to be in on several successful hunts throughout the year and was able to photograph a lot of amazing animals. Recently, I've been scouting - on foot and via trail camera - in preparation for the 2013 season. Many pics of that process have been shared and I will continue to share many more throughout the coming year.
Although new pics are being taken every week, I figure it's time to kill last year's thread and start a new one. Here goes..
