For Packers wide receiver Jeff Janis, a break means a chance to focus on a different game.
An avid hunter, Janis takes just about any opportunity away from 1265 Lombardi Ave. in the daylight hours to indulge in the outdoors. In the fall, that means bow hunting for deer.
On a recent Tuesday, which is the players’ normal day off, Janis was kind enough to let packers.com – specifically, yours truly – come along on his afternoon hunt.
As we prepared to head out into the woods to spend a few hours sitting in a ground blind, hoping to at least spot some deer if not shoot one, it quickly became clear this is not just a hobby for Janis.
