We are just a week and half out from opening day of dove season and the kick off of the fall hunting. I love this stuff!!!
I implore everyone to get out and use those fancy weapons, all that joe cool gear and work them honed ninja tactics on things that see, smell and hear better than you. Don't be afraid to get out of the stand, away from the feeder set to go off at 0900 so you dont have to get up early and match skills more than 1/4 mile away from the comfort of those heated pickup seats and breathe non filtered crisp fall air.
It's time to practice skills like plant reconition. If you hunt deer they eat around 70 wild plants alone in this state so what are they? Good time to learn and figure out which ones you share as well. Work them campfire skills and try a fire straw or charcloth method. Break in them new brand name boots and see if they are waterproof while harvesting a catail and tasting something new.
Next month don't worry about that electronic water proof zombie perimeter alarm and ask yourself what that squirel is barking at or that covey of quail just busted up for.
Remember that meat doesnt come from styrofoam and that satisfaction can come from sore muscles and tired but happy children who never grow weary of exploring are precious moments that will soon slip away to the bustle of life. Enjoy the laughter of friends and the things we do to include our own misadventures of the wild while muddy and soaking wet.
Go hunting and be careful because you just might bag your true spirit so often lost in life and maybe just maybe bring something else home besides a freezer full of meat!
