Hunt hard, hunt safe and keep hunting fun.
Wear your safety belt if in the tree. Know you target and what's beyond it. The day hunting becomes a "chore"...it's time to step back and rethink why you are out there.
The day you can watch a buck walk within 5 yards of your tree stand and not even think about reaching for the bow....you know you've reached a place in hunting that many will never know of or even understand.
Amen!
I often tell people that there is nothing like sitting in the woods and you start to hear the symphany begin of the world waking up. You hear certain birds, then some more. Hear the squirrels scratching on trees t obegin their search of food.
Then in the evening they all start to come back to their homes. Hear you get to watch the world go to bed.
Watching all this happen is far greater than actually taking a shot.
