Life of a bowhunter

11/06/2023

This is Hunting.

It will break your heart and you will go days without getting so much as a shot at an animal.
You will miss your shot.
You will see garbage in the bush, and have to pick it up.
You will wound something one day, and it will make you cry.

It will teach you life lessons.
You will learn that one more minute can make all the difference.
You will learn that life doesn't care...the weather warms up anyways, the wind changes direction, and all you can do is work with it.
You will learn patience and determination.

It will inspire you.
You will see a mother and her baby, and your heart will swell.
You will be humbled by that doe blowing at you, less than 10 yards away.
You will see the beauty of dawn.
You will learn the feeling of being prey.
You will see things so beautiful, others seem dull in comparison.
You will speak to another species.

This is hunting.
It will make you vulnerable.
You might cry over the animals you shoot.
You might make mistakes and fret over the what ifs.
You will face your own worst enemy in the bush: yourself.
You will have to walk through the dark, basically blind deaf and dumb.
You will learn the bittersweet feeling of letting an animal live, or choosing to kill one.
You will learn the important balance of life and death.

You will become ..... you.

You will learn passion, grit, strength, emotion, Independence, determination, empathy, silence and peace.

It is where you will learn your most valuable lessons.

It is where you will make your best memories.

It is where you will cry, laugh, and love.

It is where you learn to be still and be quiet.

It is what you will devote your life to, and never regret it.

This is what we call hunting

Sometimes as we sit we really don’t know what will pass by or if something that passes by will even offer us a shot. Sunday morning 10-16-22 was a fantastic morning! It wasn’t to hot and was hardly any wind with bluebird sky’s. Seen few deer early and 8:45 rolled around and heard what I figured was a squirrel; I slowly turn to see a decent 8 point but he was young. Kept watching behind me as he walked directly under me as a 7 point ear width followed him. Off in the back was this guy watching them pass under me and out in front of me. He seemed to be fine with the situation as he then took the same path. As he gets by me I slowly stand grabbing my bow all in one motion and get turned to draw. He’s standing now broadside at 23 yards as I draw; I settle the pin touch the trigger, releasing the arrow and hearing the smack we all love to hear seeing that bright green Nockturnal Lighted Nocks on the end of a Arrowtech Archery MT arrow was a sight to see!! It was seconds I hear a loud crash to my left!!! Mature deer down early season success!!! 1 buck down 2 to go

Sometimes the difference in 150 yards is no pictures to these. To a bowhunter even 50 yards difference can be the difference between success and failure!!! We have to pick the right tree and have a little luck. This hunting this ain’t Hollywood

Well this weekend I had stared at some blank arrows long enough and finally built them now I need to sight them in. I went with a 4 fletch 3 degree helical I’m betting they fly like darts!!! They are 204 ID I’ve always used standard arrows these should have better pe*******on but that’s not usually a issue for me

You know, I’m so ready for deer season! I’m ready to be 25ft in a tree by myself. You know that longing you have ? To be alone with your thoughts no interruptions, no schedules , no stress. The time you have you really process your thoughts and remember who you really are. Maybe you have forgotten who you are or who you should be? Man I don’t know about you but I absolutely need that serenity!! Without it you never know what you might get from someone. People need a release the outdoors with a bow hanging in a tree is mine I wish all of you a great season !!! And may it top all the seasons you ever had and don’t take one sit for granted! You never know when your last time in the stand will be God Bless each of you !!!!
