RE: slow motion ????
 

I’m sitting here going through every kill from this season in my head. I know things don’t slow down, though. The first shot I took, this year, I clipped a nice deer. I was SO shaken up (BEFORE the shot) that I honestly probably rushed aiming at THE right spot. I know I hadn’t been shook up like that in a LONG time….and NEVER, while hunting.

In replaying my kills from this season……I just remember being pretty calm once I knew I was going to shoot a particular animal. I think (& hope) I’ll continue to improve on this aspect of my hunting (and this has NOTHING to do with ‘shooting’ capabilities). I spined a deer this year that I quickly got another arrow into within seconds……but that shot still bothers me to this day. It shouldn’t have been that tough. I was a little frazzled. My last 3 kills were textbook shots…..and I remember being excited but calm when things went down. I recall everything happening in regular time, though.

I’ve been playing golf…..and have had people ask me how many under I was (in a particularly good round)…..and I honestly couldn’t tell them. I didn’t know. I’ve been THERE. I’ve not been in that realm, hunting. I’m not sure I’ll know what that’s like….unless I’m ever “there”.

Interesting topic, though…..

lol thought the same thing. could be wrong, but i think he means from his first deer ever to his 19th deer which he happened to shoot this year. meaning hes killed 19 over the years.

I think it is called "mirror neurons", and is the one thing that separates us from every other living creature. They are the reason we can play out a scenario in our heads and then execute as if we’d performed a given task once before. If I were to say “jump up and click your heels” you’d create a visual of this act before doing so, and it would greatly assist you in accomplishing this task.

There is a very common condition that humans can get, that is the lack of mirror neurons, which can be debilitating and these people have a lot of trouble executing even simple tasks. It is called – Autism.
