Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ Sept 14, 2017
I'm glad that, every now and then, everything comes together. The stars are in order, Jupiter aligns with Mars, and the light at the end of the tunnel is actually a light. It's especially good when it comes to deer hunting. There's only been a few times in my hunting life this has happened. It's when the dream in the tree stand actually comes to pass. That's not to say that I only dream of Pope and Young bucks, but it is to say that everything goes as hoped for. Over the years that's not happened much. I guess that's what makes me keep going out. I can remember one hunting trip that was one of those seldom events. It was a nearly perfect experience. I saw bucks every day and arrowed a nice one on the last day. What made the trip so great was not only my harvest but the whole experience, from the cold weather, to the amount of deer I was able to watch. It was the good company, good food, being able to hunt in a state that I had never hunted in, and being in the woods during the beginning of the rut. I was extremely blessed. Even though these extraordinary days are not the norm, most of my days in the woods or on the water are filled with wonderful memories and experiences. If it were not so, I'd quit going. gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org
