Who I Am:
These are some of my observations. 1. That hunting is more than a sport. It is a damn mystical experience if you approach it ethically. 2. That hunters really are THE environmentalists. 3. That going into a dark woods is something every person should do on a regular basis. 4. That hearing your boots silently glide through 6 inches of water while stalking is the most relaxing sound in the world. 5. That it is OK to feel cold. It makes you really appreciate warmth. 6. That you do not need expensive gear. 7. That you do not need an expensive rifle. 8. That when you are sitting alone in the woods for 3 hours straight, if you study what your thinking about it tells you more about yourself than any shrink could. 9. The smell of the woods adds years on to your life. 10. When you are standing over an animal that you have taken the life of....you should feel neither pity or shame if you intend on eating it. 11. When you tell people at the office that you went hunting this weekend, you should be prepared for a lot of disgusted looks and people treating you differently from that point forward. 12. That from this point on, when you start driving by woods and fields you can not help but look for deer and turkeys. 13. Every man should feel what "stalking prey" is like.........it changes you. 14. That even when the woods is absolutely silent, life is all around you. 15. That watching geese travel across the sky and confirming their direction with your compass shows you how precise nature can be....how it can run like clockwork....that it is a marvel. 16. That food you have hunted and killed yourself tastes completely different than anything you have bought in a store. 17. That you know you live in a free state when you can pull out a pocket full of change and loose 30-06 cartridges at the Dunkin Donuts cash register and the teenage girl behind the counter does not call the SWAT team but just smiles. 18. That you can be in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot at 5 am and witness, in multiple pick up trucks, 6 different rifles in various states of transport or storage and the police officers getting coffee there think nothing of it. 19. That watching your hunting buddy fall face first in 1 foot of water and look up at you with an "awwww ****" grin and you can not stop laughing for 20 minutes is something that you can never forget. 20. That there is no better feeling than giving the deer heart and the liver to a 90 year old woman because she let you hunt on her farm that has been in her family for over 160 years (and she remembers eating deer hearts and livers as a child ) and she acts like you have given her keys to a new car. 21. That hunters are some of the helpful people you can meet. Especially when you meet one in the woods that you have never met before and while you are dragging your deer out, tells you you can borrow his truck that is 200 yards away. He offers you his keys (because he aint't going to stop hunting), and tells you to just put the truck back where you found it and leave the keys in the ignition. That is trust.....or stupidity. I think he was more excited for me than I was. 22. That gutting a deer is not a bad experience. Everyone should be reminded that the meat on your dinner plate once had eyes looking at the world. It was not born precut in plastic wrap in the supermarket.
