[QUOTE="trapper1954, post: 2962181, member: 128092"] Well there's deer hunting then there's [I]deer [/I]hunting. The guys I see here are dressed for it but sit in a box blind and stare at a corn feeder. Not the experience of hunting in my book. Anybody out there ever read The Archers Bible by Fred Bear lots of good info in there. Ive been fortunate to have been able to hunt on foot my whole life and I thank God for that gift. I have a picture of me at 3 or so sitting on a buck my mom shot with her 1899 303 savage. Still have that ole relic and the picture rests with it. At that young age when my mom wanted to go hunting we went, sometimes sneaking down a ditch in an oat field and sitting till dark. I've hunted with bow and arrow, black powder, and stuck on single shot center fire Ruger #1V. I think hunting the way I did tunes you to the natural world and you see that there's predator and prey all around you hawks, snakes, fox and the little cottontails got problems always. It teaches self control and sharpens the senses, it teaches a person to strive for perfection, it teaches without success there's no food for the table . It teaches you to share your bounty with the elderly who cant do what you can. It teaches survival skills like jerky & dried sausage and I strongly urge all of you to teach a child what you can. And for you-all who are going out this morning, I keep a small feather with 3 tiny glass beads on 6 inches of nylon fishing line on my favorite rifles so I always know the wind. [/QUOTE]
