Our Late MLing Season ended tonight, I did'nt get that Big Buck that I was looking for, but have no regrets on the season passing. We have 3 adult deer in the freezer and I made it through another hunting season, what more could anyone ask for.
As I walked out of the woods tonight I stopped by a old friend, a giant red oak. This red oak has been here for generations, she's stood the test of time and has seen more big bucks go by her than I will ever see. She dropped a gazillion acorns to feed the deer I hunt. I just had to pay her some respect as I walked by as I have on many occasions just to awe at her size.
No doubt she'll be here long after Im gone as the saw will never take her beauty from our woods. This is something most never seem to notice as they venture through the woods after there quarry. For me it is one more reason to know why I love being in the woods and enjoying the great outdoors, it's more than hunting that matters to me............
