constantly scanning the surrounding woods, hoping a big one comes down one of the trails within shooting range.

Even though I enjoy my job....

I spend my time in the woods enjoying the tranquility of the woods and appreciate the time that I have to spend there and enjoy every minute of it, because it seems as though I can never get enough!

I also read a pocket New Testament and pray during slow times while hunting. I see more deer during this time than when I just sit waiting for one to appear.

Same here with the small new testament. I don' t read it near as much as I' d like to. I' m too buisy waiting for mr Deer to show up.

I count squirrels, birds, jet airplanes, lifeflight helo' s and army blackhawks. Then if you listen, you can enjoy the roar of Highway 59 and the train than travels along the tracks parralelling the highway.
Yes if you listen close you can here the sport bike winding through the gears getting on the highway. The nearby neighberhood where their constantly beating on something, or shooting rounds out the front porch into Lord knows what. Yes the joys of hunting East Texas, why do I hunt here again???

I know I' m not being too outdoorsy here by suggesting this but I' ve only been hunting once and I passed the time (when I wasn' t preparing, getting settled in, moving around looking for the source of a noise) playing my palm pilot... chess anyone?

I carry a little note pad and write down what I see. Also make notes on weather conditions and the time I am in the woods.
