Why We Stay In The Game

Bryant, I'm not sure why anyone would stay in this game or any other game like this for that matter. All I know is that we do. I have been around this game for a long time but in the last few years decided to get into it and leave the other game I was into behind. That was probably one of the best decisions I have made, not only for me but also my family. I understand losing those really good dogs, and I also know it don't get any easier with time. Each time you lose one like that you start to question yourself and your decision to hunt that dog, and whether or not you could have changed the outcome if you had done something different. I have learned to enjoy the time we have them and realize that it could be our last hunt together anytime I take the dog out. I try not to think about the investment I have in everything, I really don't want to put a number to it. I can only imagine what the numbers would be. But like alot of other people have said, if it wasn't this it would be something else and quite possibly something that cost more than this one.
