I have this ritual I guess if you want to call it that, that I go through at the beginning of every season. Opening morning after I'm in my stand I take time to say a prayer thanking God for my family, my health and letting me live another year so I can continue to enjoy his great works. I'm also thankful for the brave men and women in our Armed Services. I just sit back and enjoy the sun rise, the smell of the dew lifting from the autumn leaves, the critters in the woods going about their daily routines and think about how we're all so blessed to live in this great country. I usually don't get too serious about shooting a deer until the 2nd or 3rd time out.
