tion that dates back for Bobby to age 15, when his grandfather, James Bolt, began teaching his grandson how to hunt. It’s a tradition that has brought cousins together over the years, too, for a big breakfast on opening day and to swap tales of hunts gone by. It’s also a tradition that Bobby is passing on to his 14-year-old son, James Bradley, who hoped t^ land his first buck when he and his father set out together on opening day.
Like A Holiday
The season opener of deer hunting season is like a holiday for Bobby, with all the anticipation and preparation that a holiday can bring, too. It’s a time of year when he takes a vacation break from his work as a carpenter to get serious again about the only sport to which he’s devoted.
Bobby recalled that nobody got much sleep on the eve of deer hunting season in years gone by. His cousins would come over to his house, he said, and the hunting tales would pour out fresh brewed like the coffee they’d tell them over. “We’d stay up all night and talk,” Bobby said.
“I still enjoy it,” he added. But the excitement has mellowed some over the years, and Bobby said the sleepless nights now are a thing of the past.
For him, maybe, but not for son James. The eve of opening day might just as well be Christmas Eve as far as James is concerned. “He’s getting like I used to be. He can’t hardly wait anymore,” Bobby said.
