Hickory Cuttings


The squirrels were busy, eating hickory nuts. I also saw a large owl, a few other birds, and a pair of young 'coons. The thing I like most about bow- hunting is its camoflauge requirements. To even hope to see deer, one must be still, quiet, hidden, and wind- aware. The discipline required for deer is ample for most other critters, too, so I get to see lots of the woodland's daily routine.

It is a magic moment when you sit, and a deer comes into your space. You are sitting being still and quiet and for a moment you share this stillness with the deer.

Though I no longer hunt, for me it was always about that moment.
