Moments you live for
 

I may be old fashioned, but I live for these great moments:

1) Stopping on the way to my stand to admire the stars for a minute
2) The moment I decide "He's a shooter."
3) Catching my breath after dragging my buck out by myself
4) Sharing stories with other hunters at the check-in station
5) Kicking back and relaxing after cleaning and butchering my own deer

RE: Moments you live for
 

I can agree on most of that. However neither state where I do most of my hunting has check in stations. We just have a post season report card to fill out. Also it doesn't need to be a buck to give me the feeling of a successful hunt and at my age, I will be glad to have some help dragging one out:D.

1- walking through the woods and hearing the birds and other sounds
2- sitting up against a tree and feeling the whole world come off my shoulders
3- feeling every muscle in my body expand and tighten when a deer strolls within killing range
4- butchering my dear with my father or friends
5- sinking my teeth into the tenderloin for the first time

1. Hearing the alarm clock go off the morning of a big hunt.
2. Hearing one of the boys make some noisein a drive.
3. The "Didya get him?" .... "Yep he's down"
4. Fresh venison liver at deer camp.
5. Hearing everyones story about the same deer you just got in a chase.

To many to mention! These are just some of them. I live for the whole experience, if something was missing it wouldn't be the same!

After shooting a deer, touching it for the first time and knowing you are the first person to do so.

Everything that's been said and most of all being inGod's creation early in the morning!

1) Getting to the "hunting shack" before a mornings hunt.
2) Sitting in a stand long before dawn, just listening to everything going on.
3) Heading back to camp to report a succesful hunt.
4) Cracking jokes at other hunting buddies for missing their big buck.
