Ava, may just be out of practice. Since I was a young kid I've been in the woods. When I grew up, many of my jobs were around trees and shrubs... and logging. Even now I've worked around fallen trees and have even been walking around the woods scouting almost every day. Just the other day I walked so much, I was physically exhausted by days end. What does this mean? Not much to you, but it gives me a lot of practice lifting and placing my feet. Seems every spring when I hit the woods, it takes a bit to get my "woods feet" down again. LOL! To my recollection, I've never fallen or tripped while hunting. Knock on wood.

I have tripped on the job many times and took a few falls while scouting, but that doesn't count because you said "hunting". LOL!

I've gotten acquainted with the ground a few times. I've always found it to be startling and comical. Hopefully if you trip again, it will be like-wise instead of sustaining any injuries.

Be careful out there!
