Lessons From the Deer Woods

HuntOnly Field Staff The sport of hunting teaches us more than we could ever learn in a typical classroom setting. The woods provide us with a lifetime of learning from which the collective experience that is hunting builds a solid foundation: not only of hunting knowledge, but also of human knowledge. It is this knowledge that can be taken out of the woods and applied to the classroom, to the boardroom, and to our everyday lives. Only in the woods while hunting do you fully realize that every time you pull a trigger of a gun, or release an arrow, something or someone

I'm a damnation

HuntOnly Field Staff I didn't do the table seating selection. I just paid my money late last fall, walked in the door last night, looked for my name tag and sat down. I went to a trout banquet, where they didn't serve trout. Within minutes, I could tell I was at the wrong table.

Not closed, never

HuntOnly Field Staff Im tired, I'm hungry, and I don't want to worry about not being able to get fuel, bait and something to eat, it's not on the way to where I'm headed, but I know, without a doubt, there open.

Sit'n

HuntOnly Field Staff I sit down yet again; I've tried getting the perfect seat. I just readjusted my jacket; soft cloth noises even seem loud right now. Ok I'm comfy, I'm situated just right, I got that little breeze shut out of the small of my back by tucking my jacket liner back in. Now I can just let it happen.

Those tracks, lead to next year

HuntOnly Field Staff You give me some new fresh snow and I have to go for a walk, if to do nothing more than find out who, besides me, is in the natural neighborhood. Same old Ground, now completely covered in white, on trails I have skidded wood numerous times for two or more months, appear this morning like new trails. I try to move at a quick pace, it's cold.

Adjusting, in fall

HuntOnly Field Staff The first frost of this fall, came one night prior to the second frost. They came kinda sudden to my way of thinking. That second frost was one night before the archery bow season started around my home woods. So for the first time in many years I sat in my tree stand without any mosquitoes flitting around and that was a very special treat, one I'm not used to, but could get used too. When I'm bow hunting, I don't expect bugs, and I'm not a big fan of little bugs to begin with, so not swatting at, or
