The most wonderful time of the year

This past weekend hunting season for general gun started. Hunting is my thing. I love being in the woods. I know it doesn’t seem possible, computer nerd that likes to hunt, but what can I say? Im a well rounded guy. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities; camping, fishing, hiking. I hunt hogs with dogs year around and fish whenever I get invited (I don’t have a boat), but I generally try to have my self in the woods or on the water a few times a month, with one exception. From November 8th-January 18th I am frantic to get to the woods every chance I get. Some people like going to the beach, for some people its visiting big cities, but my Idea of a great vacation is walking trough the woods searching for the perfect little spot to sit and wait.  Im excited to get up early, (read: butt-crack of dawn) sneak out to a pre-scouted locale in freezing temperatures and wait for the sun to come up. It’s awesome. It reminds me how creative God is, and also that He has a since of humor. He has to when he sees me sitting, shivering, smiling, and praying for a chance to see bambi a nice mature buck, walk out in a clear shooting lane. I have harvested four deer in my life and with each one, before it was moved I knelt beside the animal and thanked God for allowing me to take it. That was taught to me by my dad and is a tradition I plan to pass on to my children and grandchildren.

  So my blogging will be few and far between for the next couple of months. I know…I know, what will you ever do, but trust me you’ll be fine, there are plenty of other…better blogs out there, just check out my blog roll. And If you’ve never tried hunting, or your really offend by the idea, then take a look at this. It may give you a different point of view, or at least a more educated one. If you would like me to answer any questions about hunting leave a comment and I’ll do my best to steer you in the right direction.  For all my fellow hunters out there, leave a comment on a memorable hunting experience, or your favorite hunting season.
