Why I hunt is simple. It strips the layer of urbanization and commercialization from me and lets me re-connect with the Earth, God and my own basic elements.

I step into the woods, my senses keen. I can feel the slightest breeze, smell the faint odor of leaves and dirt or catch a whiff of the rutting buck or doe upwind of me. I'm very aware of where my hands and feet are. I can track a dozen different crunches and pops from different directions.

Well maybe it's not so simple but it sure is basic.
