Humbling
This picture right here captivated all my emotions I have had a understanding and respect for the woods, rivers, critters and great blue sky since I was 8 years old. My appreciation for nature grows season to season. To share what I felt in the woods yesterday is nearly impossible.
The surge of emotions yesterday came from knowing I never gave up, slowed down, learned from mistakes, made improvements, kept my head up. Relentless pursuit is the straightest line to achieving your goals. I will say it is bitter sweet taking a buck opening day, as late oct and red November are truly what I look forward to. Something I’ve learned is the mother will share what is earned.
Advice to beginner hunters is you have to love every step you take in the woods or bow hunting will eat you alive as it’s one of the most humbling ventures I have set on. I love every step of the way. Filling my freezer with protein that will nourish my loves ones is my why. Getting to take a beautiful buck like this the first day is the cherry on top of all my effort. Nothing more rewarding.
