Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Towards Christ August 27, 2015

It really is fun to watch hunters this time of year. We are no different than any other group or even species. I would guess that every animal or mammal has trigger mechanisms - those things that happen that tell them something else is about to happen. For instance, we know that certain moon phases trigger certain types of behavior in some animals. We also know these trigger points have to do with aspects of how they were created. Some creatures hear at levels above or below that which a human can hear. Some creatures have other sensory perceptions that allow them to detect weather conditions far in advance of our modern technology. Hunters must have something as well; I just don't know what. But I do know there is something within us that triggers a trip to the hunting store. I don't think it's just the fact that it's August. I think it's much more complicated than that. Some would say that all of the hunting shows cause us to react the way we do, but I'm not so sure. In fact, I wonder which comes first, the hunting shows or the urge to hunt? I actually feel like I'm part of an old science fiction movie where all of the people that the aliens have possessed come in a trance to a central location to wait on the mother ship to arrive. No one tells them to come; there's just an urge that comes over them so strong they just have to leave.
