Hunter's Pledge
 

With the season over in most areas, I figured it would be cool to start a Hunter's Pledge. A pledge us the hunter will make in the offseason to make us better hunters overall. I'll start.

I pledge to become a more humble hunter. I tend to be a little arrogant and think I 'know it all'. So in the future I'm going to try to be more humble.

I think the old addage, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know, holds true....I tend to agree, know it all, well at least alot more, I love to learn/read all the articles I can, though I'm young and don't have the hrs in the field others do, I'm always willing to learn, or hear antoher's opinion, and wisdom is somethign I don't take likely, ie when others have it, love to learn from other's who know more or have done more etc....

I pledge to make time next season to spend in the woods and with my family. College next year, and I do not know how much time I will have to get out with the family and hunt, but what little time I have, I pledge to make the most of it!

My pledge is to shoot my rifle more in the offseason. I shoot my bow all year long but it seems like i always make a point to shoot rifle more during the summer and it seems like i never do it as much as i like. I want to feel as confident about my ability with the gun as i do with the bow this time around

I pledge to spend alot of time during the offseason scouting to figure out the travel patterns of the deer in my area so that I can help other hunters in our club fill their freezers next year. I also pledge to hone my skills with my bow so that I can make my first bow season a clean and humane one.

I pledge to spend more time in the woods; More all day hunts rather than just morning and eve. I also pledge to spend more offseason time in preparation (scouting, shooting gun/bow, etc).

I pledge to come up with a camp menu that will produce the worst smelling farts imaginable :D.

Actually, my pledge is to scout more. I have a 4 and 5 year old and live 2.5 hours from my camp. Scouting just doesn't get done these days.[:o]

how repulsive to have those two statements within the same post:)

Since I have been hunting with my sons and now grandsons, the best part of my hunting experience is the comrauderie we share.
The anticipation and excitement are part of why we hunt.

I made a pledge to myself years ago to continue that heritage...
I have and will continue that forever!
