Well It started off just great, lightly ice rain then changing to Snow around 6:30 AM. It came down good for 1/2 hr when it turned to rain. It was about 7:00 AM I was then was waiting to go to My niece's Little girl's 2 Year Old Birthday Party. Never made it, So I went hunting... I was in my tree by 2:00 PM wind was slightly crossing my face coming from where I noticed the deer coming from. Around 4:40 PM I saw deer 2 looked liked DOEs walking in & they where. They both where this Years Fawns, They where both safe. about 10 minutes late a older DOE comes in. After 100 minutes (Ok, felt like that many)of waiting, I got my chance...
The game was Broadside about 15 yards. I started to get ready. Nocked arrow, picked my spot, slowly drew my bow, remembering proper alignment, bending at the waste,came to full draw & loosed.... The arrow just went under her missing by just hairs. The feeling was outstanding, not just the game wasn't hurt, but for the closeness to death.... More like the Wonders of Life. Something that is all Traditional in the Wonders of Life it's self. The ArA's will never know this, Bow Hunters Live This. In the time of Mother Nature being at Her best with CWD, EHD to name some, throw in Jack Frost and the nature of the beasts... when one gets away by the hair on Her bellie, Well Now that's what Hunting is Truly About. This Hunt was just as Great as anyone where I have taken any Game... I enjoy the time spent in the woods, not so much the end of the hunt, as in taking a game animal. I Hope more kids find this out to save themselves & this sport. __________________ Quote: Hunting is My Heart & Soul, Without it. I'm just a empty shell. |

I agree 100%. Unless a person is out there hunting they can never possibly understand the rush and peace at the same time. It's not the kill that makes is fascenating it's just being one with nature. For me what makes it great is just doing everything right startng with picking your spot early in the season, scent control, the irresistable urge to turn your head and look when you hear foot steps coming in from behind you and the incredible disciplin it takes not to move but instead wait until the animal is within your sight and not moving a single muscle.
To watch an animal in it's own natural envirnment, in their house and they never even know your there. To be able to draw back, get the animal in your sight is a feeling that no one can describe. Choosing not to take down an animal is just as exilirating to know that at any second you can get busted or that you can drop the animal standing before you. These are feelings and emotions that no one can possibly understand unless they are out there in the woods.Nothing I have ever done in my life compares to the feeling you get while hunting. __________________ What if the Hokey Pokey is really what it's all about??
