Why do we hunt? Watch a Lab as it goes afield to retrieve the waterfowl
and you'd understand a little bit better what goes on inside of all
hunters as they walk into the woods or onto the mud flats to set out
decoys, triggering in hunters irrepressible excitement and pleasure.
It's like quenching a thirst or scratching an itch.It seems to satisfy a deep human need.
Hunting is basic to our natures. As long as people have populated the earth
they have taken the lives of other species to feed themselves.
Hunting provides many pleasures including lifelong friendships.Every part of hunting has it's pleasures , from
the planning , to the scouting , the hunt itself.It's a time we can
reflect on our lives , a time when we can be one with the land,the animals,reflect on the day,and how great God truly is...whatever we want.We don't have to worry about phones ringing,paying bills,doing errands,or snarling traffic all around us.Walking into the woods lets you leave the real world behind and it opens a whole new world that never existed before hunting.
Most of y'all know that Huntnma(Casey)and I grew up with an anti father so we weren't introduced to it until I met my husband almost 7 years ago.HM and I are twins but we NEVER (NEVER!!)got along-24 years of hatred.It wasn't until we started to hunt that we became sisters and friends.
Hunting is in my soul and makes me the woman that I am today.
I'm proud to say that I'm a hunter.
